The Federal Transit Administration awarded Nashua Transit (City of Nashua Division of Community Development) $2.038 million on September 9, 2025, under the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula Grant Program (CFDA 20.526).

The award funds the procurement of two replacement unleaded ADA small cutaway vehicles to replace units that have exceeded their useful life, and midlife overhauls and rehabilitation of up to three CNG Gillig buses to maintain them in a state of good repair. An amendment obligated an additional $1.103 million (85 percent Federal Transit Administration funding) for the procurement of five additional unleaded replacement vans, bringing total project cost to $1.298 million with state and local match funding of $97,350 each. The replacement vehicles carry a useful life of four years or 100,000 miles. No sub-recipients are identified.

The period of performance runs through December 31, 2027, with all work performed in New Hampshire. The funding maintains Nashua Transit's fleet reliability and expands accessible transportation capacity to serve seniors, individuals with disabilities, and the general public through fixed-route and paratransit services.
