On June 25, 2009, Federal Transit Administrator, Peter M. Rogoff, gave testimony before the Committee on Transportation Infrastructure to the United States House of Representatives on “…progress in implementing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.”
Mr. Rogoff made the following comments with regards to Idaho…
“Finally, in Idaho, where transit advocates have long fought to build a strong base, the Governor there has approved the use of more than $8.7 million in Recovery Act funds to put more Idahoans to work and improve rural transportation options. The Governor projects that the public transportation projects are calculated to generate or preserve approximately 155 jobs working on a range of projects including a new transit center in Victor, bike and pedestrian paths in Ponderay, and increased transit services in several communities that depend on tourism to support their economy.”
