Gov. Peter Shumlin signed the annual bill that will fund the state’s roads, bridges, airports, railroads, highway safety programs, public transit facilities and more.
Shumlin signed H.877 under a bridge in Waterbury on Thursday. The bill allocates $612.6 million in state and federal money to build and fix the state’s infrastructure as well as fund the Agency of Transportation.
The governor said in a news release that the Legislature’s transportation committees worked with him to create a bill “that will support economic growth and improve the safety of the traveling public.”
Transportation Secretary Chris Cole said in a news release that his top priority was keeping the state’s drivers safe, but that “maintaining a quality, integrated transportation system is critical to the overall economic health of Vermont.”
