The Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has awarded a $1,000,000 grant to the Lakeland Area Mass Transit District (Citrus Connection) on Aug 27, 2024. The grant funding will be used to purchase three 30-foot or smaller medium-duty buses to replace vehicles beyond their useful life within the Winter Haven urbanized area. The new buses will have a 7-year useful life and 200,000 mile capacity, supporting increased ridership and expanding mobility options for Polk County residents. The grant requires the buses to be purchased from FTA-approved transit vehicle manufacturers and meet accessibility requirements. As the prime recipient, Citrus Connection is responsible for the vehicle procurement and reporting the contract award within 30 days.
