This $403,589 Federal Transit Formula Grant (CFDA 20.507) awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA) will support the installation of four replacement in-ground hoists at the Salem Area Mass Transit District (SAMTD) Del Webb Maintenance Facility in Oregon. The grant funds will be used to replace four existing hoists that have exceeded their useful life, enabling SAMTD to continue providing safe and reliable bus maintenance services for its public transit operations. This improvement is expected to reduce SAMTD's reliance on traditional oil-based hydraulic lifts, with the new hoists using less than 5 gallons of biodegradable oil compared to over 100 gallons for the current lifts. The grant award was made on August 15, 2024, and the project is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2025.
