Green Bay Metro is installing new technology into its buses to help keep commuters safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The air-purifying technology is already used in hospitals, international airports and government buildings, but was recently adapted to work in buses. Green Bay Metro is the first transit authority in the nation to install the purifiers in its entire fleet of 36 buses. The process should be done by mid-November.
Green Bay Metro received $6.4 million dollars from the federal government and $120,000 of it will go toward the air purification system.
