The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded Lawrence County Port $750,850 under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) on September 4, 2025, for operating assistance and capital preventive maintenance supporting public transit operations in Lawrence County, Ohio. The award, obligating funds through December 31, 2026, enables Lawrence County Transit to maintain and continue essential shared-ride public transportation services to county residents, including service to seniors, persons with disabilities, and low-income populations. No subrecipients are involved in the delivery of these services.

The funding supports two primary activities: operational expenses for transit service delivery and capital preventive maintenance of transit assets and infrastructure. These formula grant resources allow Lawrence County Transit to sustain critical transportation access within the Lawrence County urbanized area by covering operating costs such as driver salaries and fuel, as well as maintenance activities necessary to keep transit vehicles and facilities in a state of good repair. The award reflects the FTA's ongoing commitment to supporting regional and local transit agencies in maintaining reliable public transportation systems across the United States.
