Caltrans has awarded millions of dollars to improve transit across California, and some of that money is going to local projects on the Central Coast.
Lompoc and San Luis Obispo both received part of the $203 million in grants.
In Lompoc, $1.5 million has been granted to build a transit center.
In San Luis Obispo, $1 million was granted to the San Luis Obispo City Council of Governments for the expansion of the Grover Beach Transit Station.
The money is meant to upgrade transit service, purchase eco-friendly buses, modernize transit stations and create jobs.
The grants are funded through Proposition 1B, the 2006 voter-approved transportation bond which will provide $3.6 billion over a ten-year period.
