Supporting Projects:
Muncie Indiana Transit System (MITS) Operating Assistance (federal/state) will help support the Emissions Reduction target by helping to reduce vehicle travel. MITS also uses soy-diesel and propane fuels, hybrid vehicles, and engine technologies to further reduce their vehicle emissions. The purchases of replacement buses and replacement paratransit vehicles will help support the Transit Vehicle Useful Life targets. The purchase of maintenance vehicles will help support Emissions Reduction targets by keeping the transit vehicles in better condition and reduce the potential for engine and particulate matter emissions. The replacement of other staff vehicles will help support Emissions Reduction targets by having newer engines and by helping with planning for operations that are more efficient. The roof replacement project will help support the Support Facilities Rating target. MITS continues to upgrade and maintain passenger facilities, whether or not that effort includes the use of federal funded projects.
