Schumer said that the current B.C. fleet is old and in need of servicing. Schumer said this new program, which was included in the recently passed federal transportation bill, will be funded at an average of $300 million per year for the next five years. In addition, Schumer revealed how he successfully pushed for this program, including many meetings with New York State transportation leaders who had urgent bus funding needs. Schumer said his efforts to help create this new bus program, combined with the successful restoration of the critical 5340 transit program funding, will be a major lift to transit agencies in the Southern Tier and across Upstate New York that have been struggling to shoulder the cost of maintain aging fleets in recent years.</p>"}}
