Governor Laura Kelly has announced $13.2 million have been awarded to public transit projects across Kansas. The money will go to 26 transit agencies as part of the “Access, Innovation and Collaboration Public Transit Program”. One of those grants went to COF Training Services in Ottawa. They received $52,716 to replace a much needed bus. Also, Osage County received just over $222,000 for new vehicles.
Kelly says a strong, safe public transportation system is critical to our state’s economy and quality of life. Projects like wheelchair accessible busses, upgraded bus facilities and route and parking lot enhancements will ensure Kansans have access to adequate, safe and well maintained public transportation.
