Federal ARRA stimulus dollars intended for use in public transportation projects have begun to flow. ABC News reported recently on the significance of the dollars being invested in public transportation bus construction, including an interview from American Seating headquarters in Grand Rapids. Officials at the west Michigan seat manufacturer were interviewed on the importance of the stimulus investment in building new buses and their role in providing seating for those vehicles. Michigan has moved quickly to put the federal dollars in play not only on bus capital projects but also on the highway side with significant federal money being targeted to construction projects throughout the state.
