Madera County Connection

The new facility includes eight electric bus chargers with infrastructure already in place to add eight more, along with solar canopies totaling four hundred forty-eight panels and a state-of-the-art bus washer for fleet upkeep.

The Transit Facility Improvement Project supports the zero-emission bus rollout plan approved by county supervisors in June of twenty twenty-three, which calls for the Madera County Connection fleet to move to one hundred percent zero-emission buses by twenty forty under California Air Resources Board clean transit regulations.

The project cost just over four point five million dollars and was funded through several programs, including the State Transit Assistance Fund and local transportation sources.

District Five Supervisor Bobby McCauley and District Three Supervisor Robert L. Poythress were among those taking part in the ribbon cutting.
