Congressional lawmakers have agreed to restore funding for mass-transit systems, such as Centro, in a federal transportation bill.
Centro would receive $12 million over the next six years in the transportation bill, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer (D–N.Y.) said in his remarks during a visit to the Centro Transit Hub at 559 S. Salina St. in downtown Syracuse on Monday.
The joint House and Senate Transportation Conference Committee has agreed to restore the funding to the “critical” 5340 High Density States program in the final transportation bill that lawmakers will vote on later this week, the office of U.S. Senator Charles Schumer (D–N.Y.) announced Tuesday in a news release posted on the lawmaker’s website.
