Memphis, Tenn. - Memphis Area Transit Authority (MATA) is contributing to a better environment, reducing noise and pollution while improving living conditions for our neighbors by introducing electric buses to our fleet. In 2022, MATA received $22 million in federal grants to invest in Clean Electric Buses. Currently, three electric buses are in service for MATA riders.
"MATA is committed to providing quality and efficient services to all riders. That's why adding Clean Electric Buses to the MATA fleet was a top priority," said Bacarra Mauldin, Deputy Chief Executive Officer for MATA. "As one of the largest providers of transportation in Tennessee, it's important that we contribute to our environment by utilizing clean energy."
MATA is taking a brand new electric bus on tour across Bluff City during our "It's Electric" Bus Tour. We're making stops in high-traffic areas to ensure riders can view our most efficient mode of transportation.
MATA is asking the media to visit our Cash Savers stops in Whitehaven and South Memphis on July 17 to speak with MATA leaders about our electric buses.
Please broadcast the complete list of the times and locations for the "It's Electric" Bus Tour.
