Larsen Releases Statement on DOT Considering Island Transit's Hybrid Bus Request

Today, Rep. Rick Larsen (WA-02) released the following statement: "I’m glad to hear that the Department of Transportation (DOT) will consider Island Transit’s request to use their hydrogen bus grant dollars on hybrid buses, which are a better fit for the local infrastructure. Local transit agencies know how to best serve their communities, and allowing this change will improve transportation in a rural part of Northwest Washington state. I support DOT being flexible to ensure local governments can spend federal dollars efficiently and effectively." ###
