Wichita Transit’s goal of moving to an entirely battery-electric fleet has received an assist from the federal government. On Tuesday, the city announced the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Transit Administration is awarding Wichita $3.95 million in federal grant funding to purchase 10 Vicinity Motor Corp. Optimal S1LF electric vehicles. The funding will also help with the installation of five 150-kilowatt, in-depot charging stations.
