I am very excited about the programs at FHWA to support transit infrastructure. Sections 1302, 1304, 1309 can help rural communities build safe and connected bus, bike, and pedestrian systems. Are you going to work with FHWA to get this information out to Rural and Tribal areas? Are there opportunities for us to help bring rural and tribal grantees to the table. The three grants mentioned are over $600million a year and at least $200 million will be for rural areas.
