The Montachusett Regional Transit Authority (MART) received a $479,067 Federal Transit Formula Grant (CFDA 20.507) from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) on February 6, 2024. The purpose of this one-year award is to provide funding for MART to implement on-demand micro-transit services in four communities within the Boston MPO area that currently lack fixed-route public transportation options. Grant funds will be used to operate the micro-transit services, including associated technology and third-party management and marketing activities. This project is expected to provide residents with more affordable, flexible, and environmentally-friendly transportation alternatives to single-occupancy vehicles, reducing vehicle miles traveled and improving air quality. No sub-awards are associated with this grant.
