Support for Small Transport Businesses: Cheaper Vehicles and New Rules

A new act establishes a pilot program allowing small ground transportation businesses to purchase vehicles at lower costs, similar to government agencies. This aims to reduce operational expenses and encourage the use of newer, more environmentally friendly vehicles. Participating businesses must use the vehicles for at least two years and donate a portion to non-profit organizations.
Key points

Businesses must use purchased vehicles for at least two years and donate one out of every five vehicles to local non-profit organizations after use.
