The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), through its Public Transit Section, is the primary recipient of a $27,371,862 Formula Grant for Rural Areas and Tribal Transit Program (CFDA 20.509) awarded by the Federal Transit Administration. This grant, with a performance period from February 2024 to December 2027, will fund a variety of public transportation activities across the state of Oregon, including:
Operating assistance and preventive maintenance for rural transit systems, project administration, procurement of vehicles and equipment, intercity bus service operations, transit planning, and training for rural transit providers. ODOT will oversee these initiatives and provide subrecipient monitoring to ensure compliance. Key subrecipients include counties, cities, tribal governments, and transportation authorities that will deliver community connector routes, commuter/demand response services, fixed route operations, and other transit services to benefit the general public in rural Oregon.
Additionally, ODOT has awarded two federal grant sub-awards to Coos County Area Transportation District ($XX,XXX) and Clackamas County ($XX,XXX) to fund the purchase of transit vehicles, signs, shelters, and other equipment to support public transportation in their respective service areas.
