pbs.org

Montgomery announced plans to upgrade its public transit system just days after the 65th anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. 

The city received a $65 million grant through federal coronavirus relief and will use it to buy 10 new buses, install new bus shelters, improve bus stations, launch an on-demand service and give hazard pay to workers.

Mayor Steven Reed said access to public transportation continues the fight to expand civil rights.
