WATSONVILLE, Calif. — Santa Cruz Metro’s board gave a green light to seek grants for adding electric buses to its fleet, the Santa Cruz Sentinel reported.

Metro currently shoulders a structural shortfall of $11 million coming out of the economic downturn in 2009 and is in the process of raising fares and reducing service. The agency hopes to help resolve its deficit by going after grants instead of using its own funds.

The boy, who was reported missing, wandered out of a nearby apartment. For the full story, click here.
