WASHINGTON – Chuck Grassley announced today that the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Transit Administration has awarded $350,000 to the Ames Transit Agency.
Ames will use the funds to design the Ames Intermodal Facility. The Intermodal
Facility will link public and private transportation modes for Ames and central Iowa.
Each year, thousands of local Iowa organizations, colleges and universities, individuals and state agencies apply for competitive grants from the federal government. The funding is then awarded based on each local organization or individual’s ability to meet criteria set by the federal entity.
