SFMTA Votes On How to Spend Obama's Stimulus Money
The SFMTA board voted yesterday to approve its list of proposed uses of economic stimulus dollars heading San Francisco's way this year. As SFAppeal reports, Muni plans to use $15 million of its total $67 million gift from the federal government for "vehicle door and step reconditioning" and $11 million on some much needed Muni pass vending machines.
No word on whether any budget will be set aside for Muni driver charm school classes.
See the full list of fund uses here -- we believe all the funds have to be used by the end of the year or else they have to be returned -- or follow the blow-by-blow as the money gets used with Muni-obsessed bloggers Muni Diaries and N-Judah Chronicles.
