WASHINGTON, D.C. — Centro in the Syracuse area, TCAT in the Ithaca region, and BC Transit in the Binghamton area are among the systems that will benefit from the “largest ever” federal investment in public transit.
The recently passed infrastructure bill (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) will provide $11 billion over the next five years for New York transit agencies, the office of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D–N.Y.) announced Tuesday.
The funding includes about $74 million for Centro in both Syracuse and Utica–Rome ($55.8 million in Syracuse and $18.2 million in Utica–Rome); more than $27 million for BC Transit in Binghamton; over $8 million for CitiBus in Watertown; nearly $18 million for TCAT in Ithaca; and more than $10 million for C-TRAN in Elmira.
