This project will purchase 8 battery electric buses (BEBs) and related infrastructure. As well, it will test the reliability of electric vehicles in the extreme weather conditions of the Valley Metro service area. Arizona relies\r\nheavily on natural gas and nuclear power, along with some renewables and a small amount of coal power (currently being phased out). With Arizona\u2019s current electricity mix, an electric bus produces 58 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions than a diesel bus and 52 percent less CO2 than a natural gas bus. This project would allow Valley Metro to gain operational and maintenance experience and help determine lifecycle costs of BEBs. An electric bus deployment would also increase understanding of battery degradation, help set realistic expectations for BEB performance, and contribute to the creation of attainable goals around BEB integration for the region.\r\n

Procurement pursuit intelligence
This project has been enacted. FFID maps funded projects to likely downstream procurement channels — including recipient portals, state and local systems, agency programs, and Grants.gov. SAM.gov is monitored, but many CPF/CDS-funded opportunities appear first through recipient or state/local procurement systems.

Multiple channels — see below
FFID could not determine the procurement channel with high confidence for this agency and category combination. Check the agency program page, Grants.gov, the state procurement portal, and the recipient's own procurement page.
Agency not specifically mapped. Check Grants.gov and the recipient's own procurement portal.
Discovery sources to check manually
Discovery onlyThese portals are not verified matches for this project. SAM.gov and state portals are general search starting points — not confirmed procurement channels.
Not project-specific. Portal coverage varies by state. Check all channels manually.
