The Guam Regional Transit Authority is set to procure 40 new buses this year as part of a major effort to modernize and expand public transportation services across Guam.

According to the Leon Guerrero-Tenorio Administration, approximately $13 million in federal funding has been identified to support the purchase for Guam's fixed route and paratransit systems.

Officials say the investment will help replace aging buses, improve service capacity, and expand transportation access for residents across the island.

The first phase includes 30 ADA-compliant 14-passenger buses already issued for bid. An additional 10 ADA-compliant 38-passenger buses are expected to be procured this summer through funding tied to the Dededo Park & Ride Project.

Leaders say the expanded fleet is expected to improve access to essential services while helping reduce traffic and pollution across Guam.
