A new emergency aid package Senate Republicans unveiled in response to the COVID-19 pandemic proposes funding for certain transportation priorities.
The legislation would provide $26.2 million for certain operations at the Office of the Secretary of Transportation.
Additionally, the Federal Aviation Administration’s Airport Improvement Program would receive $10 billion; the Essential Air Service to rural communities would receive $75 million; and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration would receive $238,500. FMCSA’s funding would address increased administrative expenses to implement activities related to the pandemic.
