🚌🎉Update🎉🚌
Montgomery County, MD's first #hydrogen #bus was delivered yesterday!

🚌MCDOT received a $15 million federal grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to purchase 13 hydrogen #fuelcell buses and build a #green #hydrogenfueling station at EMTOC. The new #microgrid at EMTOC will power the hydrogen fueling station that #DGS will be building as a next step.
#mdcommuters #maryland #montgomerycountymd

Big strides in #sustainability! Our Gaithersburg depot’s #microgrid construction is progressing smoothly — paving the way for #renewable energy integration and a more resilient transit network.
