Pocan Applauds $110.6 Million FTA Investment in Madison

MADISON, WI – Today, U.S. Representative Mark Pocan (WI-02) released the following statement following the announcement from the Federal Transit Administration that the city of Madison will receive a $110.6 million grant for the Metro Rapid Route A bus rapid transit (BRT) line. This project is a 15-mile BRT line running east-west through downtown and the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus and includes 31 stations and 46 60-foot articulated battery electric buses.

“This incredible funding is thanks to the Infrastructure Law I voted for and President Biden signed two years ago this week. It will drive significant economic growth from downtown Madison all the way to the suburbs while keeping cars off the road and cleaning our air. Thank you to the Federal Transit Administration, Secretary Buttigieg, and President Biden for investing in Madison.”
