Schumer visited CENTRO headquarters to announce that the Schumer-negotiated Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework passed last week in the Senate includes a record $74 million specifically for CENTRO over the next five years. Schumer explained the significance of the funding, noting that the $74 million represents a 34% increase over previous five years of funding, which totaled $55 million. Schumer added that the package also includes $8 billion in funding for United State Department of Transportation’s Capital Investments Grant (CIG) Program, which could fund local efforts to bring Bus Rapid Transit routes to Syracuse.</p>\r\n<p>Schumer said the $74 million over 5 years for CENTRO will come from the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) ‘Urbanized Area Formula Grants’ and ‘Buses and Bus Facilities Formula Program,’ which help fund operations and capital improvements. The 34% increase represents the largest amount of funding CENTRO has ever received from the FTA’s formula grants. Schumer said this funding, coupled with the $38.4 million he secured for CENTRO in the American Rescue Plan, will help secure finances as it recovers from the pandemic and opens up opportunities for new, improved services in the future.</p>"}}
