San Joaquin Angles for 34 More Diesel-Hybrid Buses

22 February 2005

The Record.  The San Joaquin, Calif, Council of Governments is expected Thursday to award $15 million to the district to buy 34 more diesel hybrid buses that will serve Stockton city and routes connecting cities in San Joaquin County.

San Joaquin brought in two GM-Allison diesel hybrids (manufacturd by Gillig) last year. (Earlier post.)

The $15 million will come from the federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality improvement program as well as local money, including Measure K, the county’s half-cent sales tax that voters approved in 1990.
