Federal Grant Award Summary

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) received a $28.7 million Formula Grant award from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526), obligated on April 29, 2026, with a completion date of October 31, 2029. This award provides capital funding to support the MTA's investment in bus and bus facilities infrastructure maintained by New York City Transit (NYCT), specifically funding the replacement of boilers, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and air curtains at the Flatbush Depot.

The grant supports the MTA's broader state of good repair initiatives by enabling critical rehabilitation and replacement of aging transit assets serving the MTA's ridership of approximately 15.1 million people across New York City, Long Island, and parts of Connecticut. The award contains no subrecipients, with the MTA implementing all activities directly. This capital investment aligns with the FTA program's objective to rehabilitate and modernize bus-related facilities across the nation's transit agencies.
