TWIN CITIES TRANSIT

TWIN CITIES TRANSIT
In 2006 the federal government announced it would grant $1 billion to selected cities that could produce aggressive, innovative projects that included tolling, transit, telecommuting and technology. Of the five winners, Miami and the Twin Cities have done best. Seattle's toll bridges over Lake Washington are behind schedule. Two other winners failed. San Francisco returned most of its grant. New York's project (tolls to enter Midtown Manhattan) was rejected, its money going instead to Los Angeles and Chicago. Chicago's project failed, its funds transferring to Atlanta.
