The funds will be apportioned between 64 transit agencies around the state.
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) announced a $96 million investment in public transit services across the state, according to an article from KFYO.
The funding will be distributed among 64 agencies, including 14 counties in East Texas, 13 counties in the Concho Valley Transit District, and Wichita Falls, with a focus on paratransit services and services for seniors. “This means that for Texans who rely on buses and other transit methods to commute to work or school, they will see an upgrade in their experience. In 2024 alone, transit districts across rural and urban areas in Texas funded over 24 million rides.”
