Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) said Maine has been awarded $69.2 million in federal highway and transit funding under the recently signed COVID-19 relief package.
“As the Ranking Member of the Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee, I have strongly advocated for funding to improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of Maine’s infrastructure,” Collins said. “Continued investments in our transportation network are vital, particularly during the pandemic that has caused a decline in revenues. The road projects and transit operations supported by this funding will help ensure that Mainers can reach their homes and jobs.”
