WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) announced he secured more than $176 million for North Carolina transit from the bipartisan infrastructure package that he supported.

The funding levels, detailed by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Transit Administration (FTA) in apportionment tables for each of the 30 total programs for Fiscal Year 2022, will provide 58% more funding, enabling state governments, transit agencies, and other providers to modernize and expand services for residents in communities large and small.  

“I was proud to work with my colleagues to craft and pass the bipartisan infrastructure package that is already delivering millions in federal resources for targeted infrastructure needs in North Carolina,” said Senator Tillis. “This $176 million allocation will improve transit operations in North Carolina cities and surrounding areas so we continue to provide reliable transportation throughout the state.”
