The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) received a $5,021,049 Formula Grant award from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) on August 23, 2024 under the CFDA 20.509 Formula Grants for Rural Areas and Tribal Transit Program. This federal funding supports public transportation infrastructure and services in rural and tribal areas of Montana.
Key activities under this award include:
- Purchasing buses and vans for vehicle replacement and service expansion projects
- Partially funding the construction of an administrative/maintenance facility and the rehabilitation/renovation of another transit facility
The ultimate goal is to maintain transit buses and facilities in a state of good repair to benefit rural and urban transit riders, as well as elderly and disabled transit users, across Montana. MDT is serving as the prime grantee and is leveraging this award to provide sub-grants to 37 transit providers throughout the state for vehicle acquisitions and facility improvement projects.
