Fund the replacement of ten (10) 40-foot diesel buses that have reached the end of their useful life with new diesel vehicles

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded Central Contra Costa Transit Authority (CCCTA) $850,752 under the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526) on August 20, 2025, for the procurement of ten (10) 40-foot diesel buses. The award, obligated through December 1, 2026, supports the replacement of aging transit vehicles that have reached the end of their useful life in Central Contra Costa County, California. The new buses will serve both fixed-route transit riders and paratransit passengers throughout the service region.

This capital investment aligns with CCCTA's broader fleet modernization efforts and supports the organization's compliance with state air quality regulations. As a local government transit authority, CCCTA qualifies as an eligible recipient under the formula grant program, which provides statutory funding allocations to states and transit agencies for bus replacement and related equipment. No subrecipient activities were identified under this award, with all procurement and procurement oversight conducted directly by CCCTA's Purchasing Department.
