 Pierce Transit riders will get a charge out of this story. Northwest News Radio's Tim Hull reports. Imagine a day when your electric bus, low on juice, simply drives over a specially designed charging pad and is good to go in minutes. That cutting-edge technology is coming down the road thanks to a $14.8 million federal grant expected to make its debut at Tacoma Community College in 2028. The grant will also fund four new e-buses and a plug-in charging station for up to 30 buses. Tim Hull, Northwest News Radio.
