The Clinton Administration announced this week that the federal government will provide 80% of the $147.3 million to build a light-rail link in downtown Newark between the Broad Street Station and Newark's Penn Station. The money comes from $6.1 billion that the Administration has earmarked in the fiscal year 2000 budget for transportation projects to battle traffic congestion in cities. Officials envision the Newark leg as the first part of a $630 million system that will eventually stretch 8.8 miles from downtown Newark to Newark International Airport and into Elizabeth.
