WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, announced that the counties of Hawaii, Kauai, and Maui will receive $1.5 million from the Federal Transit Administration to purchase or lease new zero or low-emission transit buses.
“Investing in new clean buses means that the many residents on Hawaii Island, Kauai, and Maui who depend on public transit to get to school or work every day will continue to have an affordable, reliable way to get around,” Schatz said in a news release. “This federal funding will help ease traffic congestion and cut commute times, all while reducing carbon pollution.”
The grant, which was awarded due to the joint efforts of the Hawaii Department of Transportation and the counties of Hawaii, Kauai, and Maui, will also help fund the facilities and equipment necessary to maintain the new fleet.
“Federal funding to go to Hawaii buses”
Well there you go, fake news. The money is not going to buses, it’s going to Hawaiian bureaucrats, who will dither and fritter the money away, and maybe some of money will actually buy buses, but they’ll be poorly maintained and critical parts will not be available because most of the money will be wasted and not accounted for, and they’ll end up sitting on their axles in a lot someplace, rotting away.
What is really ignorant is the honorable senator.
“affordable, reliable way to get around”.
Senator why don’t you hand out bicycles and Chairman Mao
suits. That is what you expect us to live like.
I really despise the rulers of Hawaii.
