WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is releasing $588,000 in federal funds he secured to purchase new buses in Los Alamos. Bingaman secured the funding in a fiscal year 2008 spending bill.

Atomic City Transit will use the funding to purchase four new buses to add to the fleet.
