$39.2 MILLION FOR WEST VIRGINIA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

"Many West Virginians rely on public transportation to go to work, school and to pick up their kids from daycare, while seniors and disabled West Virginians depend on rural bus routes to attend appointments or go to the grocery store. From our cities to our rural counties, it’s critical that our public transportation is safe and secure for every West Virginian."
