WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) applauded the announcement by the U.S. Department of Transportation that it awarded the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority an $8 million grant through the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) FY 2022 All Stations Accessibility Program (ASAP). ASAP is a competitive grant program created by Portman’s bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that aims to improve America’s oldest transit systems nationwide so they are accessible for all passengers.
“This is great news for the Greater Cleveland area,” said Portman. “The All Stations Accessibility Program will help cities all over Ohio and the country update aging and outdated transit systems so that all Americans can access them more easily. This is just one more resource that will strengthen our nation’s infrastructure that is made possible by my bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.”
NOTE: In August 2022, Senator Portman sent a letter of support to Federal Transit Administration’s Administrator Nuria L. Fernandez on behalf of the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority.
