U.S. Representative Charlie Crist (D-FL) announced another $1.2 million grant to Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) from the Department of Transportation's Buses and Bus Facilities Grant Program. PSTA will use the grant to upgrade and replace Pinellas' bus fleet and construct new bus stations and facilities. Last week, Congressman Crist announced a $40 million grant to PSTA from the CARES Act.

"Proud to announce yet another grant to support PSTA's important work for the people of Pinellas, signifying key investments being made at the federal level to improve the lives of the residents of our community," said Rep. Crist. "From my seat on the Appropriations Committee, I know how important federal dollars are for strengthening our public transit to keep folks going to where they need to go."
