Metro is in receipt of the 2015-2018 MTIP Amendment for a new project addition on behalf of TriMet: Low or No-Emission (Low-No) Bus Program. To share your views, comment by 5 p.m. Feb. 16, 2017. A final notice will not be published.

Metro is required to document funded projects scheduled to use federal funds over the next four years. The current cycle is documented in the 2015-18 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program.

TriMet has been awarded a federal grant to purchase zero-emission battery electric buses with en-route fast-charging equipment and depot plug-in charging in the Portland area as part of its plans to procure future zero emission buses to create a cleaner, more energy-efficient fleet.

This award triggers an amendment to the 2015-18 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program:
