President Donald Trump’s Budget could Derail Bay Area transportation Projects in Future
In the new budget of Donald Trump, transit is at the top. This new president’s budget is known as “America First: A Budget Blueprint to Make America Great Again,”. This budget mainly promises major cuts to federal dollars that flow to bay area transit projects including TIGER grants and New Starts funding.
This 2018 budget requests approx $16.2 billion for the department of Transit’s optional budget, a $2.4 billion decrease. The local transit agencies depend on federal grants from new BART cars to Muni’s Central Subway to get projects done.
