Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood will travel to Sacramento, Calif., on Monday to make a "major transportation funding announcement," DOT officials said Friday afternoon.
Officials with Sacramento's Regional Transit District have sought to extend the city's light rail system by 4.3 miles to a college in the southern part of California's capital city.
LaHood will make his announcement Monday during an appearance at the school, Cosumnes River College, DOT officials said Friday.
The extension is expected to cost $270 million and add four new stations to the Sacramento RT's Blue Line. The project is expected to be completed in September 2015.
