Sfrta rolling stock seftc trip; purchase vehicles/equipment; capital

The Federal Highway Administration awarded a $13.5 million Formula Grant on May 28, 2025, to the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) for the SFRTA Rolling Stock SEFTC TRIP project. This award supports the purchase of vehicles and equipment as capital improvements to the Tri-County Commuter Rail Authority's (SFRTA) transit infrastructure. The funding will enable SFRTA to acquire new rolling stock and associated equipment to enhance its 72-mile commuter rail system serving Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties.

The award represents a continuation of federal investment in South Florida's regional transit infrastructure, with FDOT administering the grant and sub-awarding funds to SFRTA for implementation. These capital equipment acquisitions align with the Highway Planning and Construction program's broader objectives to improve multimodal transportation networks and support transit system reliability. The rolling stock purchase will strengthen commuter rail operations and service delivery across the tri-county region, benefiting the essential workers and commuters who depend on the SFRTA system.
