The TTC board approved a joint $370-million plan with the federal government last November — $140 million of which is reserved to electrify Toronto’s buses.

The new vehicles will cut annual greenhouse gas emissions by 100 tonnes per bus, according to Eglinton-Lawrence MP Marco Mendicino. 

“This will help protect our environment and improve air quality,” he said.
