Mayor Domenic J. Sarno, today, joined with Congressman Richard E. Neal, and Pioneer Valley Transit Authority (PVTA) Administrator Sandra Sheehan for the announcement of $36,615,416 in Federal Transit Authority funding as a result of the CARES Act.
This funding will enable the PVTA to provide transit service during the COVID-19 public health emergency while also allowing the PVTA to respond to new transit operations needs post COVID-19. The grant is 100% federal funds with no local match required.
Mayor Sarno stated, “A sincere thank you to our Springfield Congressman and Chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, Richard Neal, for his continued leadership and efficacy in securing resources for the City of Springfield and the entire Western Mass region.”
