This federal Formula Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507), aims to support continued public transportation operations and infrastructure in Ventura County, California.
The $14,898,625 grant awarded on September 5, 2023 to the Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC) and its subrecipients will fund eligible operating expenses such as driver salaries, fuel, maintenance, and transit vehicle leases. This funding will allow VCTC to continue providing transit services that would otherwise have to be cut due to lack of funding. Specific activities include preventive maintenance, ADA service, capital contracting, mobility management, capital infrastructure, and replacement of rolling stock. VCTC is passing through portions of the grant to subrecipients like the Cities of Thousand Oaks, Moorpark, and Camarillo, as well as the County of Ventura, to support their transit operations and capital projects.
