La Gobernadora Kelly, la Administración Federal de Tránsito (FTA) y la Secretaria de Transporte de Kansas, Julie Lorenz, anunciaron que $13.2 millones se destinarán a 48 proyectos de transporte público en todo el estado.
Ese dinero se destinará a 26 agencias de tránsito como parte del Programa de Transporte Público de Acceso, Innovación y Colaboración (AIC), que financiará nuevas instalaciones de autobuses y mejorará el servicio de tránsito. Las subvenciones respaldan la compra de autobuses de bajas o nulas emisiones para crear sistemas de transporte más limpios y eficientes.
Tanto los proveedores de transporte urbano como rural reciben apoyo del programa AIC. Los proyectos tienen un costo total de alrededor de $ 17 millones, y el programa AIC proporciona alrededor de $ 13 millones ($ 2 millones estatales, $ 11 millones federales) de los fondos.
En los primeros dos años del programa AIC, KDOT habrá otorgado $21 millones en fondos para un costo total del proyecto de $26 millones.
Los tipos de proyectos incluyen la construcción de instalaciones de mantenimiento de autobuses para ayudar en la gestión de flotas, accesibilidad de tránsito mejorada siguiendo la Ley de Estadounidenses con Discapacidades, tecnologías avanzadas y operaciones de tránsito ampliadas con bajas emisiones.
