Washington, D.C. \u2014 <\/strong>U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is delivering new resources to help more families get around Chatham County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the bipartisan infrastructure law, Sens. Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock are boosting resources for Chatham Area Transit (CAT) as it explores a new electric vehicle micro-transit project \u2014 which would provide a reliable, call-a-ride service for Savannah residents to move around their community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The micro-transit system would help people in Chatham County access a new, affordable transportation option when getting to work, school, doctor\u2019s offices, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Ossoff worked closely with CAT and the U.S. Department of Transportation to secure this grant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSenator Warnock and I delivering these resources to help families get around Chatham County and connect more rural areas with health care, jobs, school, and more,\u201d said<\/strong> Sen. Ossoff.<\/strong> \u201cI commend CAT Executive Director and CEO Faye DiMassimo and her team for their vision and congratulate them on this exciting project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese new investments that will strengthen the infrastructure of two of Georgia\u2019s most populous counties are the result of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Senator Ossoff and I championed,\u201d said Senator Reverend Warnock.<\/strong> \u201cFrom metro Atlanta to the coastline and in between, I will continue to work to deliver even more investments to upgrade our state\u2019s infrastructure so Georgians can have safer communities and stronger connectivity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCAT is grateful for this game changing SMART grant opportunity and Senators Ossoff and Warnock for their leadership. In addition to the support of innovation in the future of public transit and potential new services such as micro-transit, all great projects are founded on great partnerships: Georgia Tech, Savannah State, our ATU operators<\/a> union, and GDOT, among others, will be key to our success,\u201d CAT Executive Director and CEO Faye DiMassimo said.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sens. Ossoff and Warnock secured the $1.2 million for CAT\u2019s EV Zonal Micro-Transit Project through the Department of Transportation\u2019s Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) Grants Program, which was created through the bipartisan infrastructure law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SMART program was established to help local agencies advance innovative projects that improve transportation efficiency and safety in their communities.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
