RALEIGH, N.C. — The state Department of Transportation (DOT) reneged on a promise to use $15 million in federal funding on a regional transit hub planned for Raleigh, according to WRAL.
Transportation Secretary Tony Tata outlined the problem, noting the state received $29 million in uncommitted funds in 2010 as part of $520 million in federal stimulus money for high-speed rail projects. A former DOT official said Raleigh could have $15 million of the uncommitted funds for Union Station, but the Federal Railroad Administration said rail upgrades between Raleigh and Charlotte had already consumed the money.
