The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded a $409,708 Formula Grant under the Formula Grants for Rural Areas and Tribal Transit Program (CFDA 20.509) to the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Public Transit Section on September 17, 2024. This grant funding will support operating assistance for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) to operate a rural fixed-route transit service around the Walla Walla, Oregon urbanized area. The expected outcomes of this grant award include increased passenger capacity, improved service frequency, and maintained reliable transit service in the rural areas served by CTUIR. As a sub-grantee, CTUIR will use the $409,708 in grant funds to cover the operating expenses of their rural transit fixed-route service.
