#funding-gap

Many newly qualified doctors are taking part-time jobs to cope with debts, often driving Ubers or working in bars to supplement their income. This cycle of financial strain is particularly affecting students from lower-income backgrounds, highlighting a significant funding gap in medical education.

VTA officials unanimously decided to part ways with Kiewit Shea Traylor due to an inability to agree on pricing for the second phase of the BART project. They believe this decision will not affect the project schedule, despite the challenges ahead such as a $700 million to $1.2 billion funding gap. The project aims to enhance public transit in the region by extending the BART line.
