FTAs FY 2012 request marks a ground breaking commitment to expand transit options for Americans and return transit systems to a state of good repair. For FY 2012, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requests $22.351 billion, which is roughly double the FY 2010 enacted level. This request will make transit systems more reliable, efficient, desirable, and safer for the millions of travelers who use them every day. Transit is a major component of the Presidents vision for rebuilding the Nations transportation infrastructure. In his 2010 Labor Day announcement and, more recently, his pledge in the State of the Union to redouble the national commitment to public infrastructure, the President committed $50 billion in Up Front transportation funding in his FY 2012 budget. Of the $50 billion, $11.5 billion is included in FTAs FY 2012 request. These funds will be used to jump start rebuilding and expanding transit infrastructure, addressing urgent transportation needs and helping to create jobs. |
