A South Coast bus system is getting federal funding to replace some of its oldest and most polluting busses.
The Department of Transportation is giving Santa Barbara County’s Metropolitan Transit District $5.6 million dollars. It will allow the district to replace 14 of its older busses with clean diesel, or battery electric vehicles between now and 2018.
Nationwide, the Department of Transportation awarded $211 million dollars for 61 projects to improve bus service.
