The Vineyard Transportation Authority this week announced it will add 4 more electric buses to its fleet in June, bringing the total to 16 — 50% of its fleet. But that’s not the big news.

What is newsworthy about the VTA electric bus program is that it will use electricity from solar panels to keep them charged.
