Following a February 11 Washington forum on transportation and the Economic Recovery Act, RIDOT Director Michael P. Lewis noted that $137 million is on its way to RIDOT. Fifty percent of these funds must be obligated by July.
“We stand ready to put people to work. RIDOT expects to have every dollar spent by the deadline and may even be entitled to more,” said Director Lewis. “This could happen if other states can’t allocate all of their funds.Those unspent dollars will be redistributed to states ready to spend them and we will be in a position to spend more if we get more.”
