Tracy, CA — The City of Tracy has been awarded a $7,140,000 grant from the Federal Transit Administration’s Low or No Emission (Low-No) program to purchase seven new electric-diesel hybrid buses for the Tracer fixed-route system.
“This is a big moment for Tracy and for the future of public transit in our community,” said Mayor Dan Arriola. “These funds allow us to expand service, improve reliability, and make transit more accessible for our residents as our city continues to grow.”
The total cost of the purchase is approximately $8.4 million, with the remaining balance funded through existing state and local transit sources. The new buses will feature low-floor access and additional wheelchair securements to improve rider experience and support increased demand across the system.
“This investment helps modernize our fleet today while laying the groundwork for a transition to zero-emission vehicles in the future,” Mayor Arriola added. “We are grateful to Congressman Josh Harder’s office for their support in helping bring this funding to Tracy.”
The Transit Division will bring an item forward to City Council to authorize the purchase of the vehicles through a cooperative procurement contract.
