ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, Ind. -- $20,500,000,000 dollars in federal funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will support public transportation in communities throughout the country and here in Michiana.
It's the latest round of funding invested in our nation's transit systems, coined as an inherently friendly climate option.
Funding is also set aside to provide specialized services for seniors and riders with disabilities.
Communities received funding based on population and service data, with special funding allocated for newly urbanized areas.
Looking at Indiana, the state as a whole received over $138,000,000. Areas targeted for funding include Evansville, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, and South Bend. South Bend is set to receive just over $10,800,000.
The state of Michigan will receive nearly $194,500,000.
Cities with specified amounts include Detroit, Flint, Ann Arbor, Lansing, Grand Rapids, and Kalamazoo.
Grand Rapids will see about $16,700,000.
Kalamazoo is receiving just over $4,400,000.
