Governor Kelly, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Kansas Transportation Secretary Julie Lorenz, announced $13.2 million will go toward 48 public transit projects across the state.
That money will go to 26 transit agencies as part of the Access, Innovation, and Collaboration (AIC) Public Transit Program, which will fund new bus facilities and improve transit service. The grants support the purchase of low or no-emission buses to create cleaner, more efficient transportation systems.
Both urban and rural transit providers receive support from the AIC program. The projects have a total cost of about $17M, with the AIC program providing about $13M ($2M state, $11M federal) of the funds.
In the first two years of the AIC program, KDOT will have awarded $21 million in funding for a total project cost of $26 million.
Project types include constructing bus maintenance facilities to aid in fleet management, upgraded transit accessibility following the Americans with Disabilities Act, advanced technologies, and expanded low emissions transit operations.
