WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is releasing $626,650 he helped secure for RoadRunner Transit in Las Cruces to purchase vehicles.

“Public transportation is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to high gas prices.  This funding will help Las Cruces provide important transit services to the community,” Bingaman said.

Specifically, funding will make it possible for RoadRunner Transit to purchase 6 para-transit vans and one bus to add to its transportation fleet.
