The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded the Central Oklahoma Transportation and Parking Authority (COTPA), doing business as Embark, a $14,817,763 Formula Grant (CFDA 20.507) to cover preventive maintenance, paratransit services, and capital improvements for the period of July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024. The grant will fund one year of preventive maintenance, nine months of paratransit services, and the purchase of mobile data management software, real-time transit fleet systems, shop equipment, security improvements, and rehabilitation of the downtown transit center. The City of Edmond, as a sub-recipient, will use portions of the grant to cover eligible preventive maintenance and operating expenses to continue its local transit operations. This Formula Grant funding, which typically ranges from $500,000 to $5 million, supports capital and operating needs for public transportation services in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area.
