Replace public transportation terminal damaged by hurricane mara

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded the Municipality of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, a formula grant totaling $3,000,000 under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) on June 23, 2025. The grant funds the reconstruction of a public transportation terminal that sustained damage from Hurricane Mara and requires demolition due to structural deficiencies. The rebuilt facility will be designed to accommodate mid-size buses and include an integrated park-and-ride feature, modernizing the municipality's transit infrastructure and improving resident access to urban amenities. The project is scheduled for completion by March 30, 2033, with the Municipality of Guaynabo's Planning Office serving as the direct recipient and administrator of funds. No subrecipients are involved in the award's implementation.

This capital improvement project aligns with the Urbanized Area Formula Funding Program's core objective of providing federal resources to local and regional government authorities for transit infrastructure enhancement and development. The grant demonstrates FTA's commitment to restoring critical public transportation systems in communities impacted by natural disasters while supporting broader transit modernization goals that enhance service capacity and accessibility for the general public.
