City of Fargo receives public transportation system funding

U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) announced today the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) awarded a total of $7.9 million to the City of Fargo. These funds were appropriated under Section 5307 (Urbanized Area Formula funds) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, a bill crafted in the Senate which Senator Cramer helped pass.

The funds come as a part of a $25 billion allocation through the CARES Act to recipients of urbanized and rural areas throughout the nation to support capital, operating, and other expenses generally eligible under those programs to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19. These grant funds will be used specifically to operate and maintain the City of Fargo’s public transit system. Please visit cramer.senate.gov/COVID19 to learn more.
