Rock Region METRO Receives Federal Grant for Shelters
Rock Region METRO in North Little Rock, AR, recently received a $360,000 federal Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant to purchase and install 25 new solar-powered shelters equipped with solar-powered lighting, a bench and a small bike rack.
The total project cost is $450,000, with the agency providing a 20 percent match of $90,000. The shelters will be ordered and installed this year at locations of high importance based on ridership.
TAP provides funding for programs and projects defined as transportation alternatives, including on- and off-road pedestrian and bicycle facilities, infrastructure projects for improving non-driver access to public transportation and enhanced mobility, community improvement activities and environmental mitigation. The Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department administers the program within the state.
