The City of Santa Monica, California, announced on Nov. 13 that its Big Blue Bus has been awarded $36.6 million through the California State Transportation Agency's Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) to build charging infrastructure able to charge the entire fleet simultaneously and to expand zero-emission transit service.
