| 摘要： | IN THE PAST YEAR, THE MEMPHIS AREA Transit Authority (MATA) has made great strides, and we accomplished much of it by engaging and listening to our stakeholders. Not only must we keep the basics in the forefront: Excellent customer service, positive rider experience and well-equipped staff, but moving into transit practices of the future was necessary. We made innovation a priority area, and in implementing creative strategies, we were in turn, awarded more resources to do that work. We recently received multiple grants from the Federal Transit Administration totaling $139.8 million, the largest federal investment received in our 47-year history. The investment of $76 million included $54 million dollars earmarked for a new operations and maintenance facility and $22 million to purchase clean electric buses. Nearly $64 million received earlier this year will be used for an innovation corridor bus rapid transit system, which will connect our downtown to the medical district and our flagship school, the University of Memphis, all high-traffic areas. |
