CONGRESSWOMAN JOHNSON ANNOUNCES A $12,000,000 DART GRANT TO REPLACE URBAN TRANSIT BUS FLEET


Transportation has awarded Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) with a $12,000,000 grant to assist with the replacement of their urban transit bus fleet. This project was funded through the DOT’s “State of Good Repair” program and will replace aging, less fuel efficient buses currently operating in the DART fleet.

"I am happy to announce that the Department of Transportation will award DART $12 million to be used for the replacement of buses in the Urban Transit Bus Fleet that have reached or surpassed their useful service period. I could not be happier, because improvements in transit opens up job opportunities to more of the Dallas community,” Congresswoman Johnson said.
