60 years ago today, President Lyndon Johnson signed into law legislation creating the federal transit program, marking the federal government’s major role in supporting transit bus and rail systems across the U.S. In the 60 years since, the program, now managed by FTA, has reshaped transit in America. We have evolved from supporting a few scattered bus lines and city subways to funding world-class rail, bus, ferry and bus rapid transit systems to ensure everyone can fully participate in all their communities have to offer. Thanks to President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we now have more support to help transit agencies expand and modernize their systems. transit.dot.gov/FTA60

Helping the City of Detroit achieve a clean and green future! Acting Administrator Veronica Vanterpool joined local officials today to announce $30.8 million in FTA funding to support the city’s transition to a clean energy bus fleet. The city will use the federal funds to buy more than 20 low- and no-emission buses and a hydrogen fueling station, strengthening transit service and reliability while improving air quality and tackling climate change! The event was held at the recently opened Jason Hargrove Transit Center, which was built on the historic Michigan State fairgrounds in Detroit. #busmonth tinyurl.com/busmonth2024
