Electrifying Rural Transportation Act of 2024

This bill creates a $500 million annual grant program (2025-2029) to help rural public transit agencies electrify their fleets. It provides funds for purchasing electric buses and vehicles used in on-demand rural transit services (like microtransit), installing charging infrastructure, and offering workforce training for electric vehicle operations. Eligible recipients include rural transit agencies and tribal governments that qualify for existing federal transit grants. The program requires agencies to follow standard federal transit grant rules and allocates 5% of funds for technical assistance and workforce training.
