CAPITAL REGION The Capital District Transportation Authority has adopted a $101 million annual budget that keeps existing services operating despite pandemic-related drops in ridership, starts construction on a new rapid-transit route, and lays out plans for getting more electric-powered buses in the future.
The authority gained a significant benefit $52 million from the American Rescue Plan, the $1.9 trillion COVID pandemic stimulus bill approved by Congress in early March. That money is covering the losses in customer revenue CDTA expects over the next three years, until things get closer to normal.
