SALINAS – Phase II of the Monterey County Rail Extension project got a boost in the form of funding this week that will enable initial work to be done for a multimodal station in northern Monterey County. The Transportation Agency for Monterey County announced that it was awarded a $2.274 million grant by the California State Transportation Agency for the Pajaro-Watsonville Multimodal Station Project. The grant award from CalSTA ‘s 'Transit & Intercity Rail Capital Program' will enable the Transportation Agency to complete the state and federal environmental clearance on the project, positioning the station for future awards of state or federal funds for the next phases of work, final design, property acquisition and construction.
