The Butte County Association of Governments (BCAG) received a $6,791,686 federal Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507). The purpose of this award is to provide operating and capital assistance to BCAG, the owner and operator of the B-Line public transit system in Butte County, California, as it modernizes its demand response software and mobile ticketing technologies. Specifically, the funds will be used for FY 2022/23 operating assistance, updating the B-Line's demand response scheduling software, and purchasing additional mobile ticketing hardware and equipment to implement a mobile ticketing modernization project. These improvements are expected to increase ridership and on-time performance for B-Line transit services, which primarily serve the Chico, CA urbanized area. The grant award period runs from January 2024 through December 2026.
