Transit aid opens doors for urban mass transit use
The federal highway trust fund bill allows cities to redirect funds toward mass transit. About 3 billion of 22.9 billion is earmarked for mass transit, with 200 million for buses after mid 1974 and 800 million for urban freeways or rail transit in the following year. The change aims to curb congestion, fuel worries, and air pollution by boosting urban transit.
