The MetroRapid system will bring forth another fleet of new buses, including the possibility of articulated buses further down the road. In 2014, HART began purchasing Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) transit buses, along with a small fleet of CNG powered paratransit vans. In total as of 2020, there are 70 CNG powered buses in the fleet, though one (# 1708) was retired earlier in the year due to severe accident damage. In 2020, the agency received a $2.7 million dollar federal grant to purchase 4 electric buses .
