SOUTHERN TIER, N.Y. -- Four Southern Tier non-profit groups that work with the elderly and disabled will receive eight new buses worth more than $450,000.

The grants for the wheelchair accessible vehicles come from the Federal Transit Administration. Among the groups receiving the new buses is Achieve, which is based in Binghamton. The non-profit works with hundreds of disabled people in Broome and Tioga counties. They'll receive three buses, the most out of the chosen groups.
