The GRTC Pulse project team is excited about continued
regional support. Here is a recent
shout-out!
In the May 18, 2015, Vol. 7 Issue 5 edition of Building the
Best Richmond, Richmond City Mayor Dwight C. Jones released the following
statement about GRTC Pulse:
Technical Assistance
for GRTC Pulse
“I would like to thank U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony
Foxx for including Richmond, as one of the seven cities, to receive support
from a new technical assistance program-LadderSTEP. The assistance program will help promote
thoughtful planning and economic growth related to our planned GRTC Pulse
transportation project. GRTC Pulse will
help revitalize communities, create pathways to work, and connect hardworking
people to a better quality of life by providing service along the majority of
Broad Street from Willow Lawn in the west to Rocketts Landing in the east. The route will include fourteen stations and
over three miles of dedicated travel lanes.
The $24.9 million federal TIGER grant that was announced in September
will fund half of the final design and construction costs. The remaining funding is in the form of a 50%
match by state, City and Henrico County.”
