The Line: Construction On Albuquerque Rapid Transit Continues, Will Federal Funds Arrive?

March 24, 2017 – Albuquerque residents are dealing with construction along Central avenue for the new Albuquerque Rapid Transit (ART) project. The controversial bus line started last year before full funding arrived from the federal government. The project is not in President Trump’s proposed budget. What could that mean for the city? If the funding doesn’t come, can the city absorb the extra cost? Host Gene Grant and this week’s Line opinion panelists share their thoughts on the continued battle over the ART bus line.
