RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – The city of Reno will be obtaining funding from the Federal Transit Administration for public transit.
The city will be getting approximately 34% of $20.5 billion worth of federal funding, the most of any city slated to get funding.
The funding will be for subways, light rail, buses, and ferry systems in Reno and the eight other cities that will get funding. The FTA says the money will help these cities expand, modernize, maintain and operate public transportation systems, upgrade stations, tracks, and facilities, create new transit corridors, and provide access for seniors and riders with disabilities.
Besides Reno, the other cities that will be getting funding are:
- Provo, Utah
- Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
- Stockton, California
- Trenton, New Jersey
- Charleston, South Carolina
- Spokane, Washington
- San Jose, California
- Indianapolis, Indiana
“As part of President Biden’s infrastructure plan, we’re making history’s biggest-ever federal investment in transit – trains, buses, ferries, and more – so people can reliably and affordably get to wherever they need to be,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “This $20.5 billion investment in public transportation will support the daily lives of millions of Americans across the country and help communities expand access to economic opportunity.”
