The CARTA Board on Thursday morning voted to approve the budget for the 2022/23 year.


CARTA received funding from the Congestions Mitigation Air Quality/Federal Highway Administration Grant Award for two new electric vehicle changing stations. 


Compared to June 2021, ridership has gone down, officials said.

 

Lisa Maragnano, executive director, said it might have to do with TVA’s work from home services.
