Washington DC -<\/b> Los senadores estadounidenses de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley y Ron Wyden, anunciaron casi $100 millones en fondos federales para financiar una extensi\u00f3n de 7.8 millas de la L\u00ednea Roja MAX de TriMet desde Beaverton Transit Center hasta el centro de Hillsboro. La financiaci\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n aumentar\u00e1 la confiabilidad del sistema de tren ligero entre el Aeropuerto Internacional de Portland y el Centro de Tr\u00e1nsito de Beaverton.<\/p>\n

\u201cEl transporte p\u00fablico es un servicio vital en el que conf\u00edan innumerables residentes de Oreg\u00f3n en el \u00e1rea metropolitana para ir al trabajo, recoger sus recetas y comestibles, y m\u00e1s\u201d. dijo Merkley<\/b>. \u201cFortalecer nuestra infraestructura de tr\u00e1nsito no solo ayudar\u00e1 a nuestras comunidades a sobrellevar esta pandemia, sino que contribuir\u00e1 a una base s\u00f3lida para el futuro y nos ayudar\u00e1 a reconstruir nuestra econom\u00eda con transporte sostenible. Me complace que estos fondos lleguen a TriMet y continuar\u00e9 luchando por los recursos de tr\u00e1nsito en todo nuestro estado\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cEl transporte p\u00fablico es esencial para los residentes en el \u00e1rea metropolitana de Portland tanto para superar el COVID19 ahora como para aprovechar al otro lado de esta crisis econ\u00f3mica y de salud p\u00fablica\u201d. wyden dijo<\/b>. \u201cLos habitantes de Oregon dependen de MAX todos los d\u00edas para llegar a sus trabajos, comprar productos, viajar convenientemente al aeropuerto y mucho m\u00e1s. Me complace que estos recursos necesarios est\u00e9n en camino a TriMet y seguir\u00e9 luchando por estos recursos federales para apoyar el tr\u00e1nsito sostenible en la regi\u00f3n metropolitana y en cualquier otro lugar de Oreg\u00f3n\u201d.<\/p>\n

Gerente General de TriMet Doug Kelsey<\/b> agradeci\u00f3 a la delegaci\u00f3n del Congreso de Oreg\u00f3n por su apoyo al tr\u00e1nsito: \u201cLa expansi\u00f3n de la L\u00ednea Roja del Aeropuerto crear\u00e1 un sistema MAX mucho m\u00e1s eficiente y ampliar\u00e1 el servicio de un asiento en lo profundo del condado de Washington. Llega en un momento en que necesitamos poner en marcha la econom\u00eda. Esta inversi\u00f3n federal y local crear\u00e1 alrededor de 1200 empleos en la construcci\u00f3n cuando m\u00e1s los necesitemos\u201d.  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

El financiamiento, que asciende a $99.99 millones, est\u00e1 siendo distribuido por la Administraci\u00f3n Federal de Tr\u00e1nsito.<\/p>\n

La financiaci\u00f3n de la expansi\u00f3n MAX llega poco despu\u00e9s los senadores anunciaron que TriMet recibi\u00f3 $185 millones en financiamiento<\/a> para apoyar sus operaciones y proyectos de transporte p\u00fablico, incluidos los esfuerzos de respuesta al coronavirus.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
