The Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority (PRHTA) received a $447,070 project grant award from the Federal Transit Administration under the Urbanized Area Formula Funding Program (Section 5307) on September 17, 2021. The grant utilizes Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funding to support planning and capital projects for the municipalities of Gurabo, Corozal, and Las Piedras through March 31, 2032. As the designated recipient, PRHTA will oversee subawards to the three municipalities totaling $447,070 to fund capital expenses necessary to operate, maintain, and manage their public transportation systems during the COVID-19 pandemic recovery period. The funding will ensure the municipalities can quickly resume public transit services once emergency conditions subside.
