Harrisburg, PA – In the past week, Lt. Gov. Austin Davis and Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Secretary Mike Carroll were joined by transit-agency officials and local leaders across the Commonwealth to highlight how Governor Shapiro’s budget proposal to invest in transit agencies is a commonsense way to create good-paying jobs, spur economic development, and help Pennsylvanians reach their destinations safely.
The Governor’s budget proposes an additional $282 million investment for transit – the first increase of its kind in over a decade.
The Administration held events last week in York, Greensburg, and Pittsburgh to demonstrate why public transit is critical to local economies as well as the 1 million Pennsylvanians who rely on transit every day and how transit users from across the Commonwealth would benefit from the Governor’s proposal.
