 | John,
Public transportation is a powerful engine for economic growth and local opportunity. And thanks to long overdue federal support, communities across the country are seeing historic investments in public transit and passenger rail infrastructure that will transform the ways we live and work for the better.
In this second installment of our series spotlighting Capital Investment Grant (CIG) projects, we’re featuring three exciting efforts underway in Minneapolis, Chicago, and Los Angeles. These projects show what’s possible when federal investment meets local vision. To learn more, check out our latest blog.
Three major transit projects—Minneapolis’ Southwest Light Rail, Chicago’s Red Line Extension, and L.A.’s Westside Purple Line Extension—are elevating how communities connect and commute. Supported by CIG and federal investments, these projects are expanding access, improving reliability, and driving long-term economic growth in underserved and high-traffic areas.
Want to learn more? Visit our latest blog, CIG At Work: Public Transit Projects Shaping Our Communities, to see how these projects are making a difference for communities of all sizes.
Thanks for your support,
