The Orlando-based Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority, which does business as Lynx, received $27.61 million from the U.S. Federal Transit Administration’s Low or No Emission Grant Program.

With the funds that U.S. Rep. Darren Soto (D-Florida) helped secure, the bus and paratransit service provider will add 30 compressed natural gas (CNG) buses to its fleet — part of the move of its full fleet to a mix of low- and zero-emission vehicles by 2028.
