SLOCOG announced the California Transportation Agency has awarded $1.3 billion in funds to statewide transit and intercity rail programs.
The county of San Luis Obispo will receive around $63 million from these funds, awarded to improve its coast rail line along Monterey, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties.
SLOCOG says these funds will go to improve signaling & track improvements at the San Luis Obispo rail station and near Paso Robles.
Other improvements include a new rail station in downtown King City, and connecting the rail station and Fort Hunter Liggett by bus.
