This project involves the replacement of the following:- CDH (HARRISBURG) four (4) 40-FT diesel buses (#1101 #1102 #1103 and #1104). And - cpta (YORK) one (1) 30-FT CNG bus (#218).

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded $2,877,580 in formula grant funding under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) to the Susquehanna Regional Transportation Authority (SRTA), doing business as Rabbit Transit, on September 23, 2025. The award supports the acquisition of five replacement transit buses: four 40-foot diesel buses for the Capital Area Transit (CAT) division serving the Harrisburg Urbanized Area, and one 30-foot compressed natural gas (CNG) bus for the Central Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (CPTA) division serving the York Urbanized Area. These bus replacements are intended to retire aging vehicles that have exceeded their useful life while maintaining SRTA's fleet in a state of good repair.

The project is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2027, with no subrecipient involvement identified. The replacement buses will directly benefit SRTA ridership and the general public across the service regions in central Pennsylvania, including York, Hanover, Harrisburg, Cumberland, and Dauphin counties. This award represents a standard application of FTA formula grant resources for transit capital improvements focused on fleet modernization and asset preservation within designated urbanized areas.
