$27, 749,995 for transportation in New Mexico announced by Congressman Luján and Congressman Heinrich from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). This federal money will put New Mexicans back to work and provide New Mexico with safer and newer streets and mass transportation. The money will be used by state and local transportation authorities to repair and build public transportation infrastructure here in New Mexico.
“Funding from the Federal Transit Administration will help New Mexico grow its transportation infrastructure and advance public transportation,” said Rep. Luján. “Investments in public transportation put New Mexico and our nation on a path towards a more sustainable future. It’s encouraging that funding for these important programs is quickly flowing to key programs in the states through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.”
“This distribution for public transit is incredibly important because it’s an investment in both our present and our future,” said Rep. Heinrich. “Investing in our public transportation puts New Mexicans to work now and it also moves us toward energy independence, decreased traffic congestion, and a healthier community for all of us. Public transit is also a tremendous incentive to lure new companies to locate in Albuquerque creating even more good jobs.”
