For the first time, MetroWest Regional Transit Authority (MWRTA) is adding heavy-duty transit buses to its fleet—and they’re GILLIG Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses. This investment marks a major step in expanding service while advancing Massachusetts’ goals for emissions reduction and congestion mitigation. "The MWRTA is extremely excited to be joining our peers in providing public transportation using these best-in-class, heavy-duty transit vehicles provided by GILLIG," said MetroWest RTA Administrator Jim Nee.

Last week, I had the privilege of joining the GILLIG Sales team and other members of the GILLIG family to pack 9,288 meals for Kids Against Hunger, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting food insecurity both globally and in our local communities.

Giving back to our community is core to who we are at GILLIG, and I’m grateful for the team’s dedication to making a real impact.

Mountain Line (Missoula, MT) is well on their way towards achieving their 2035 goal of a zero-emission fixed-route fleet, powered by their investment in GILLIG Battery Electric buses. Once 10 more of GILLIG's latest generation Battery Electric buses arrive in 2025, the agency will only have 3 more buses in their fleet to replace! But replacing aging diesel buses with Battery Electric buses is not only a green choice, it's also a way to save 'green' over the bus' lifetime. Jennifer Sweten, Mountain Line Director of Operations, explained the cost benefits: "Electric buses in warm weather cost about 30 cents a mile on electricity. On a cold day that jumps up to about 45 cents a mile. They're about half as much to operate as a traditional diesel bus."

GILLIG employees went above and beyond to make our GILLIG Cares Holiday "Stuff-a-Bus" Toy Drive a success. With the leadership of our Product Planning & Strategy team and the generosity of our entire GILLIG family, we helped fill a Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority bus with toys to bring joy to local families in need this holiday season.
