According to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), North Carolina will receive 25 percent more ($176 million) in public transit funding as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
The legislation, also called the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, passed in November and was signed into law by President Joe Biden last year. It is expected to infuse an estimated $1.2 trillion into the nation’s infrastructure.
The funding includes more than $45 million in funding for rural transit services, the FTA said, defined as areas serving less than 200,000. The remaining $131 million will go to urban transit agencies.
