The state Legislature is poised to support a $20 million allocation to the Santa Clara County Valley Transportation Authority to support employee needs and facility repairs following the deadly May 26 mass shooting.
The last-minute budget addendum, proposed by state Sen. Dave Cortese, D-San Jose, outlines $10 million to worker support and facility improvements and another $10 million to mental health services, worker training, and retraining.
Local leaders said the funding is essential for the VTA to jump-start its recovery process and meet the most pressing needs of employees and their families following such a traumatic event.
