The city of Tallahassee was awarded more than $35 million in federal grants to jump-start the construction of a new solar-powered transit center. Local and federal officials broke the news at a press conference Tuesday.
The city is also adding 8 new battery-powered buses.

“Public transportation has the power to shape communities," said City Commissioner Curtis Richardson. "As we continue to build a battery electric fleet of the future, we are embarking on a major milestone for our city with the development of the Southside Transit Center.”
The city looks to have all its buses make the transition from gas-to-electric by 2035.
