Jeff Bingaman United States Senator from New Mexico

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today said he is pleased that the U.S. Department of Transportation is releasing $294,000 he secured to allow the City of Roswell to purchase new buses.

With this funding, which Bingaman secured in fiscal year 2008, the city will be able to buy four buses and two vans.

“This funding represents a great investment in Roswell,” Bingaman said.  “It will be put to good use supporting the city’s public transit system.”
