Clovis City Council Approves Land Purchase for Zero-Emission Bus Transit Center
The Clovis City Council has approved a deal to buy over 24 acres of land for a new transit center, funded by a $4.15 million state grant. This move aligns with a 2018 state law requiring all public transit to switch to 100% zero-emission fleets by 2040. The existing bus yard lacks space for this transition, and bus ridership has surged by 35% since expanding routes last November. However, this growth strains the budget, with Measure C, a county half-cent sales tax, providing only $2.1 million of the systems $13 million annual cost. Without reliable Measure C funds, officials warn of potential service cuts, shorter hours, or fares for riders.
