Washington - U.S. Congressman Jerry Costello (D-IL) announced today that Monroe-Randolph Transit, Inc. has received a $110,000 grant through the Federal Transit Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation. The funds will be used to provide low-income individuals with transportation to and from work.
"For many people, having a way to get to work is just as important as getting the job," said Costello. "Providing transportation options helps not only the individual, but the entire community by strengthening the economy. I will continue to support these efforts."
