PROVIDENCE, RI: _ The Obama Administration announced that the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority was awarded a $345,000 grant to install efficient compact fluorescent light fixtures at four facilities. RIPTA's proposal was among 43 winning projects selected for $100 million in Economic Recovery Act funds for pursuing environmental technologies to help reduce global warming, lessen America's dependence on oil and create green jobs, the federal Department of Transportation said in announcing the grant. The benefits of this project were identified as part of a recent energy review conducted of RIPTA facilities by Northern Energy Services.
