Snohomish County and its partner cities and agencies have been awarded more than $31 million in the 2012 federal transportation funding round recently completed by the Puget Sound Regional Council.
Along with required local matches, this funding will allow for $45 million in road repairs and improvements and transit service throughout Snohomish County.
