San Francisco’s Muni bus system gets $3.6M federal grant for bus, facility upgrades

Thanks to a $3.6-million federal grant, San Francisco Municipal Railway buses and facilities will be getting a much-needed facelift, plus a leg up on future electrification of all buses in the system, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency announced today.

The grant, awarded by the Federal Transit Administration, will allow the SFMTA to replace, rehabilitate and purchase bus equipment and improve bus-related facilities, such as the Woods Bus Yard, one of Muni’s largest maintenance yards. At that site, the grant will allow for new bus-washing equipment, operator training on bus simulators and upgraded facilities.
