Transportation secretary advocates for large rail and bus rapid transit construction.
The U.S. Transportation Department announced that 18 large transit projects in 11 states have been recommended for funding by Secretary Pete Buttigieg under the president’s 2024 fiscal year budget. Nine of the projects are new, while the rest are already in the planning or construction phases.
“Transit connects people to jobs, schools, loved ones, and more,” said Secretary Buttigieg.”We’re proud to deliver this funding to expand transit across the country, which will create good-paying construction jobs and provide better options for people to get where they need to go.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Buttigieg as he reviews and determines the infrastructure and transit projects to support for construction.
- For the president and his administration as they seek to increase the availability of mass transit.
- For Administrator Nuria Fernandez as she heads the Federal Transit Administration.
