AMSTERDAM, NY—Congressman Paul D. Tonko announced a slate of Capital Region transportation projects that he is submitting to the House Transportation and Infrastructure (T&I) Committee in a bid to secure federal funding for the projects. Proposals selected by the committee may be eligible for funding under the surface transportation authorization legislation that is expected to be proposed later this spring.

“My office has spent the past several weeks coordinating with local leaders, organizations and municipalities to develop a list of worthy, eligible projects that will bring needed federal dollars and positive transportation improvements to our Capital Region,” Congressman Tonko said. “I am excited to announce my member-designated transportation projects to be considered for the upcoming surface transportation package. In the coming weeks, I will work tirelessly to ensure every one of these laudable projects gets a full and thorough review and push for these proposals to receive the federal funding they deserve. My gratitude to the dedication of all who submitted a project, and for their commitment to bettering our region for all who call it home.”
