Bill would include bus lines in interstate highway plans
Washington shows a proposal to extend interstate authorization through 1977 and divert 450 million dollars per year from the highway trust fund to mass transit bus lines. Senator Jennings Randolph pushes for grants to support bus systems, with rules on urban highway improvements and preserving minimum state allocations. The plan also links funding to timetables and excludes nonessential segments, naming Hartford, New York City, Chicago, and others.
