On Thursday, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) announced it would be investing nearly $150 million into transit across the state.
On July 12, the Texas Transportation Commission awarded more than $68 million in federal and state funds to the state’s transit providers. When added to the grant awards announced in June, the total amount invested will be $146 million – a 65 percent increase compared to funds approved in 2021. The increase is due in part to federal funds made available through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
