Adam Prince’s blog, Sure Why Not, notes that there will be a lot of unhappy people in many states next month when the U.S. Department of Transportation announces winners of TIGER transportation infrastructure discretionary grants, a part of President Obama’s stimulus program.
In a chart accompanying Prince’s blog, Colorado is shown as having submitted 30 grant requests totaling just over $1.1 billion. They include a request for up to $200 million to begin the first phase of bus-car pool-toll lanes on U.S. 36, and a $62.5 million request for safety and improvement work on CO 119 near Black Hawk.
TIGER stands for Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery.
