Foothill Transit is purchasing 66 natural gas vehicles this year, and was just awarded a grant to purchase and test zero emission buses. Foothill Transit has agreed to assist the City in seeking additional grant money whenever available to do street improvements in conjunction with the Transit Plaza. The final design for consideration has yet to be determined. Although it might be possible, it would have to conform to State Law and City code. They would pay the bills and acquire the property if the project was approved.
