NFTA-Metro has been awarded a 2025 Environmental Award from the Erie County Environmental Managment Council for the Cold Spring BED Conversion. In partnership with National Grid and the New York Power Authority, members of the NFTA accepted the award on April 22, Earth Day, at the Northland Workforce Training Center in Buffalo.

This initiative established a fleet of 45 electric transit buses, installed charging infrastructure, upgraded grid systems, and provided workforce training. The project supports clean energy goals by reducing emissions, improving air quality, and promoting sustainable transit. As the first project of its kind in the region, this effort positions NFTA as a leader in green transportation. It reflects a strong commitment to a healthier, more energy-efficient future for Western New York.

Congratulations to everyone involved in this incredible initiative!
