The Federal Transit Administration awarded the City of Simi Valley $6,088,628 in formula grant funding on August 24, 2026, under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) to support continued transit operations.

The award funds two years of operating assistance, one year of preventive maintenance, and one year of ADA/paratransit services for Simi Valley Transit from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027.
