Durango Transit has a new bus on the road, thanks to a grant from the Federal Transportation Administration to help replace aging vehicles on the fleet. And come join the fun in downtown Durango with safe, family-friendly trick or treating, and trunk or treating activities, hosted by participating merchants in downtown Durango and The Hive. You're watching the "Local News Roundup," brought to you by Man Cave Barber and Craiger's Ace Hardware. I'm Wendy Graham Settle. Durango Transit has a new Main Street trolley, thanks to a grant from the Federal Transportation Administration. City of Durango received an FTA 5339 grant with an award of $165,000, which will enable the city to replace some of its aging fleet of vehicles. The Colorado Department of Transportation also awarded Durango Transit with a 2022 Multimodal Transportation and Mitigation Options Fund grant of $80,000, which will fund the development of a zero emission vehicle transition plan for the transit fleet. Plans are expected to be completed in early 2023. For more information about Durango Transit, visit durangotransit.com.
