Federal Surface Transportation Grants Reward Rail, Mass Transit Projects

摘要

Federal grants recently awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) for surface transportation projects reveal a distinct emphasis on rail and mass transit projects. Of the $1.5 billion provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) for the grants, nearly two-thirds went to projects involving freight rail, passenger rail, or mass transit, according to an analysis by Civil Engineering.
