County of Livingston received a $5.36 million Formula Grant award from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) to support regional public transportation operations and infrastructure. The award, obligated on September 3, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2027, funds four primary categories of transit services: transit operations, preventive maintenance on vehicles and facilities, annual software costs for trip management systems, and replacement of transit vehicles that have exceeded their useful life. These activities directly support the county's core objective of maintaining current service levels while preserving its transit fleet in a state of good repair and ensuring operational continuity through technology infrastructure.

The funded activities will benefit all transit users and community stakeholders throughout Livingston County. No subrecipients are involved in this award, with the county serving as the sole awardee responsible for executing transit operations, vehicle maintenance and procurement, and software maintenance activities.
