City granted $6.4 million in transit funding through CARES Act

The City of San Marcos was awarded a federal grant of $6,429,168 to help transit providers continue to operate throughout the novel coronavirus outbreak.

The funding appropriated by Congress comes through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) as part of the CARES Act. The FTA granted $25.9 million in grant awards to five transit providers in Texas.

“While Texans continue doing everything they can in response to the spread of the coronavirus, we in Washington should give them everything they need to succeed,” said U.S. Senator John Cornyn. “I’m thankful to the Trump Administration for encouraging transit improvement in San Marcos.”
