WASHINGTON – Senator Chuck Grassley announced today that the U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded $1,256,940 to Ames.
According to the Department of Transportation, Ames will use the funds on bio-diesel articulated buses.
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 administering the funds.
