The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) was awarded a $4,722,658 Formula Grant from the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526). The purpose of this grant is to purchase and provide 51 vehicles to 30 different transit sub-recipients in Kansas to maintain a state of good repair for their vehicle fleet and continue providing safe, efficient, and accessible transportation services in rural and small urban areas.
The grant will fund the purchase of 11 full-size vans with lifts, 20 cutaways, and 20 ramp-accessible minivans. It will also support six independent component projects, including developing a GTFS-RT feed, deploying vehicle annunciators, integrating joint branding bus wraps, retrofitting flip-seats, upgrading rear destination signs, and installing digital rider alert panels on the fleet. Through these capital investments, the grant aims to enhance the range of passenger accessibility, comfort, and information services provided by the sub-recipient transit agencies across Kansas.
