$25 million in federal grants arrives at NJ Transit
Written by jrood
The Department of Transportation is transferring nearly $25 million to NJ Transit. The first $22 million grant was awarded on a competitive basis through the agency's new initiative, State of Good Repair program, that was announced in 2010. The funding will be used to replace approximately 40 older buses with new, 45-foot compressed natural gas buses. Another $2.5 million is headed to New Jersey from the Department of Transportation's Transit Investment for Greenhouse Gas and Energy Reduction grant program to install energy efficient heaters to help improve the safety and efficiency of railroads during colder weather.
