UCAP transit program getting boost from MnDOT thanks to federal grant

The Federal Transportation Administration recently awarded the Minnesota Department of Transportation $17.9 million in grant funding to help rural Minnesota transit providers upgrade their vehicle fleets and infrastructure. 

MnDOT manages the federal funding of rural Minnesota transit programs and works with local partners. As part of that funding, $6.1 million will fund two new transit facilities for United Community Action Partnership’s Community Transit Program. The facilities, located in the city of Slayton and the city of Pipestone, will feature bus storage, maintenance/wash bays and administrative offices.
