PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • November 26, 2025

Greater Portland Metro will receive nearly $4.25 million in federal funding to replace aging buses and support upcoming service expansions. The money will pay for six new 35-foot buses: three to replace vehicles that have logged more than a decade and half a million miles on the road, and three to support planned expansions into Scarborough and potentially South Portland.
