The City of South Portland received a $2,210,366 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507). The grant will support the South Portland Bus Service (SPBS) in FY 2024 by funding preventive maintenance activities to keep the bus fleet, equipment, and facilities in a state of good repair. It will also cover non-fixed route ADA paratransit service trips within 3/4 mile of SPBS fixed route service, as well as regional planning to sustain and improve the efficiency of SPBS's systems such as CAD/AVL and electronic fare collection. This funding will enable SPBS to continue operations and maintain their assets, benefiting South Portland residents, commuters, and tourists who rely on the public transportation services.
