WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today announced that two New Mexico pueblos will receive a total of $265,221 to help with the planning and operation of public transportation projects. The funding comes from a grant under the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Tribal Transit Program, which Bingaman created.

“This grant funding will help Jemez and Santa Ana pueblos enhance public transportation services in their communities,” Bingaman said.
