Navajo Transit System Returns, Gets New Funding
The Navajo Nation has received nearly 39 new hybrid buses to bolster public transportation on the reservation, according to tribal officials.
The $6 million grant comes from federal transit officials and the New Mexico Department of Transportation, officials said Thursday.
As vaccination rates continue to rise, the Navajo Transit System is gearing up to resume operations next Monday, June 7. Officials say the reopening comes with limited capacity and that the usual $2.00 fee will be paused amid the pandemic.
The Nation last week received notice that the American Rescue Plan would allocate $1.8 billion dollars to the tribe for COVID-19 relief.
