WASHINGTON – Today, ahead of Earth Day, Representative Shontel M. Brown (OH-11) announced that Ohio will receive $214 million to reduce carbon pollution across the state and ease congestion in local communities.

Brown. “The new Carbon Reduction Program will not only provide cleaner transportation options in Northeast Ohio, but it will also help to reduce commute times, expand access to transit services, and advance justice in our communities.” The investments total more than $6.4 billion across the country and are administered under the Federal Highway Administration’s Carbon Reduction Program. These funds can be invested in a range of eligible projects, including: Public transit services; Electric vehicle charging infrastructure; Traffic flow improvements; Congestion management technology; and Pedestrian and cycle trails.
