The project includes creating 18 new stops and four mini-hubs and the procurement of 15 new electric buses. There also will be a dedicated bus-only guideway and traffic signal priority buses, according to officials. Members of the city’s federal delegation and local officials announced a $25 million federal grant to help build a new BRT system in New Haven at the Dixwell Q House Thursday. The federal grant will be combined with other grants to complete the $115 million project, according to state Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto. Eucalitto said the state DOT and the city are working closely on the design phase, hoping to start construction in 2026 with a plan to fully open the routes in 2029. The grant announced Thursday is a part of the Department of Transportation’s $2.2 billion Rebuilding America Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity Discretionary Grant Program, which awarded 162 projects across the country in total.
