Today, Vice President Joe Biden and U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced the availability of $8.4 billion from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) for public transportation.
“All over the country, resources are being put to work not only creating jobs now – but also investing in the future. A future that strengthens our transit system, makes us more energy efficient and increases safety,” said Vice President Joe Biden. “With this recovery package, we will be creating jobs, saving jobs, and putting money in people’s pockets. And with these resources, we’ll not only be rebuilding roads and bridges and schools, we’ll be rebuilding America.”
"Investments in public transportation put people to work, but they also get people to work in a way that moves us towards our long term goals of energy security and a better quality of life," added Secretary LaHood. "That is why transit funding was included in the ARRA and why we think it is a key part of America's transportation future."
