Better Buses: Governor Hochul Announces MTA Seeking Companies To Upgrade Fleet With 650 New, Alternative-Fuel Buses

Governor Kathy Hochul announced today the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) will be releasing a request for proposals (RFPs) from bus manufacturing companies to build 650 new buses, the biggest single upgrade to the fleet since 2013. When the full order has been completed, these new buses will represent more than 10 percent of the MTA’s bus fleet and will serve more than one million daily riders. These buses will be purchased with funding secured by Governor Hochul in the MTA’s historic 2025-29 Capital Plan and will fulfill the MTA’s commitment to modernize its bus fleet made in the Next Stop: Faster Buses, Better Service plan announced in partnership with Governor Hochul and New York City Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani this summer. The buses will use Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), a cheaper, greener alternative to diesel fuel. The new buses, which will replace aging CNG buses already in service, will improve fleet reliability, reduce emissions and improve air quality.
