Communities generosity provides holiday support and donations.

LIVERMORE, Calif.– Wheels buses greeted shoppers at the Livermore Walmart on Saturday, December 14 for another season of Stuff-A-Bus, the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority’s (LAVTA’s) annual holiday collection. Drawn by radio station KKIQ’s live broadcast, shoppers and supporters came aboard to drop off toy donations in support of local charity Family Giving Tree.

“It’s always heartwarming to see the community come together with the spirit of the season. On a blustery day, Wheel’s staff and Walmart shoppers were cheerful and generous with time and toys.” said LAVTA Director of Customer Experience David Mark. “Our annual toy drive is a point of pride for the agency, and we’re so thankful for the over 250 toys that filled the bus.”

This was LAVTA’s thirteenth year conducting the Stuff-A-Bus event. As the holidays approach, the agency reminds riders that parties are better with the peace of mind of safe and reliable transit on Wheels.

Congressman DeSaulnier presents award for hydrogen fueling station expansion.

The Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA), operator of Wheels bus service in the Tri-Valley, has gratefully accepted a 3-million-dollar federal funding award to expand a hydrogen fueling station supporting Wheels bus fleet expansion. The agency was proud to host Congressman Mark DeSaulnier and Karrington Hendrix representing the office of Congressman Eric Swalwell.

“Today we celebrate the bold leadership of our Members of Congress who secured funding in Washington for LAVTA’s hydrogen fueling station to benefit their communities and constituents back home. This truly is the start of a zero-emissions and clean energy transportation future in the Tri-Valley” said LAVTA Executive Director Christy Wegener.

The award comes from Community Project Funding as part of Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (H.R. 4366), which included a total of $15.2 million in federal funds Congressman DeSaulnier secured for multiple projects across Alameda County.

Evan Branning, Board Chair for LAVTA and Livermore City Councilman stated “This federal award will enable LAVTA to deploy hydrogen fuel cell buses over the next two years, enabling conversion away from fossil fuels faster by increasing the number of buses we will be able to support with hydrogen fuel sooner. The funding also allows LAVTA to successfully meet the state of California’s climate goals while being a catalyst for good paying construction and clean-energy jobs in the Tri-Valley.”

Construction for the project is expected to break ground in 2025 and be completed in conjunction with delivery of the first hydrogen fuel cell buses in 2027. Hydrogen fuel produces no byproduct other than water and is expected to provide equivalent range as current comparable vehicles. LAVTA is becoming a leader in the clean hydrogen transition, especially in the Tri-Valley, and works with industry peers and experts to ensure resource availability and workforce support for this innovative technology.
