The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has announced approximately $264 million in project selections to improve the safety and reliability of America’s bus systems and enhance mobility for transit riders across the country.
A total of 139 projects in 52 states and territories will receive funding from FTA’s Buses and Bus Facilities Infrastructure Investment Program.
“Every day, working families across America rely on buses, and these grants will ensure that these vital services continue to be both safe and efficient,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine L. Chao.
The grants will fund projects to replace, rehabilitate, and purchase buses and related equipment as well as projects to purchase, rehabilitate and construct bus-related facilities, such as buildings for bus storage and maintenance.
“FTA is proud to help bring new and rehabilitated buses, facilities, and equipment to communities across the country,” said FTA Acting Administrator K. Jane Williams.
“This marks a step forward in improving mobility for the millions of Americans who travel by bus to work, school, healthcare, and other services.”
(To support bus transit nationwide, in April 2018 the Federal Transit Administration awarded funds to 139 projects in 52 states and territories for Bus & Bus Facilities competitive grants. Competitive bus grants provide funding to help modernize America’s bus infrastructure: improving bus service, upgrading maintenance facilities that keep fleets safe and reliable, and building transit centers that help travelers connect.
