This $2,650,057 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (CFDA 20.507 Federal Transit Formula Grants program) will enable the City of Burlington, North Carolina to purchase replacement transit buses and provide operating assistance for its fixed-route and paratransit services.
The grant funding will be used to continue reducing congestion and providing environmentally friendly transit options for residents in the Link Transit service area. Specifically, the city will use the funds to perform preventive maintenance on its transit fleet, train staff, meet security requirements, and keep vehicles in a state of good repair. The expected outcomes include improving the overall transit system assets and continuing to deliver reliable public transportation services to the community.
