The U.S. Department of Transportation recently awarded seven rural Kentucky public transit agency projects $3.2 million through the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
The agencies serve 36 counties, and projects include paving a parking lot, enhancing technology, and purchasing and replacing vehicles with 12-passenger cutaways, which are small buses with accessible seating.
“A strong, rural transportation network is critical for economic growth in Kentucky,” Gov. Andy Beshear said. “These grants will go a long way toward replacing an aging fleet of buses with new vehicles and to enhance transit services in areas that need reliable transportation.”
