Government officials throughout the United States watch carefully to see what happens when Congress resumes its work after summer rest. All eyes will be approved by the 2026 budget bill, which has not yet been approved, even if the fiscal year of the federal government begins on October 1, 2025.
All signs indicate a decrease in projects tied to clean air targets, but there is still no new budget, 2025 budget to support the bus fleet updates to electric and hybrid batteries. Hundreds of projects are being launched to upgrade bus fleets, renovations and expansion projects throughout the US budget to upgrade vehicles for urban fleets, school buses and other public institutions.
Many countries do this to replace the government’s aging fleet and public transit with electric and hybrid vehicles. California with offensive orders, where all new transit buses are scheduled for zero by 2029. New York, Oregon, Rhodes Illland, Pennsylvania, Connecticat, Illinois, Hawaii and Columbia district are all rushing for buses and other fleets.
In almost any future project for the purchase of transit vehicles, it also has contracting components for manufacturing, technology, engineering and several other services.
The San Diego Metropolitan (MTS) transit system releases its transit network with the aim of transferring to a completely zero bus fleet. The sixth bus facility will be added and the project costs between $ 200 and $ 350 million. Upon completion, the new modern installation will be able to put up to 250 new electric buses.
The main elements of this effort include the construction of a cutting maintenance building and a 24 -hour operation center. The site will also have a dedicated parking lot for the fleet, up to 250 charging stations, fare processing areas and several services. The Center provides a space operation for the driver’s justification, dispatch training and a central control center for fleet management and charging systems. These facilities may also include advanced energy storage, updated transformers to enhance network reliability and advanced storm water management systems. At present, in the design phase, the project must be ready for publication documents in early 2027.
The New Jersey Transit Organization has budget $ 125 million to replace buses at the end of their useful life. Buying 2300 new buses is scheduled for 2026. This will be the future request for cruise buses and detailed buses for three regional planning organizations. The planned costs of $ 38.4 million to the Delaware Regional Planning Commission, $ 74.9 million to the North Jersey Transport Planning Office and $ 11.6 million to the South Jersey Transport Planning Organization. Budget support for the federal transit office and state budget implementation is available.
The 2026 programs also include more than $ 70 million for bus maintenance and support facilities, equipment and bus passenger expansion. A seller is selected by a formal preparation process.
Zero -release in Hawaii -based bus setting in Hawaii reflects a significant commitment across the country to establish and renovate public transit. The first phase of the project, priced at $ 16.6 million for 12 electric battery buses, was approved by equal distribution among the three cities. The overall cost of the project to buy vehicles, infrastructure development and comprehensive system upgrades will be exceeded $ 50 million. Budget resources include the Federal Transit Department and the Hawaiian State Competitions aimed at reaching 100 % of renewable fuel fleets by 2035. As part of Honololo’s broader electricity strategy, there are plans to access 78 buses with additional zero release in the next three years. Charging infrastructure is also included for transportation centers. The project is currently in the planning phase, with requests for the provision of vehicles and infrastructure development between November and December 2025.
The northern city transit area in Oceanside, California has plans to invest $ 50 million to replace its breeze bus fleet. This purchase will combine electric and hydrogen battery buses and replace aging vehicles at the end of their life cycle. The bus purchase specifications for faster and more accessible arrival, advanced passenger information systems and internal internal control, call the lower floor boarding. Wi-Fi tracking and real-time tracking technology allows riders to communicate and improve safety enhancement including modern collision avoidance systems, 360-degree camera monitoring and enhanced brightness. Changing to technology for electric battery and hydrogen fuel cells creates quiet and quiet rides without emissions of greenhouse gases and offers clean air throughout the important corridors of transportation to communities. The programs are demanding that the early stages of preparation in late 2025.
The Metropolitan District Transit Department in Washington DC approved a $ 112 million investment plan for 2026 to provide an important initiative to replace the bus fleet. The goal is to replace aging buses that go beyond their useful life, improve service reliability, and meet regional sustainability goals.

The Massachusetts Gulf Transportation Department has earned $ 65.3 million to replace a significant portion of its diesel bus fleet. Applications call for 160 new electric hybrid bus models. Many diesel buses that are currently serving have extended their expected lifespan and fill their efficiency. Changing hybrid technology reduces fuel consumption, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and provides more reliable services to riders. Massachusetts Gulf Transportation Office officials say their goal is to have a 100 % electric bus fleet as soon as possible.
Companies that offer bus may want to collect coalitions with other service providers to pursue these projects that will soon be launched across the United States
