This $785,447 federal Formula Grant award under the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526) will enable the Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority (Carta) to purchase four replacement transit buses, including three under 30 feet and one 30-foot gasoline-powered bus, as well as two support vehicles. The grant will cover 80% of the total project costs, with the remaining 20% provided through local funding. The vehicles and associated capital items such as automated vehicle location systems, electronic fareboxes, and camera systems will have useful lives ranging from 4 to 7 years. This project will help maintain Carta's fleet in a state of good repair, improve service reliability, and continue critical public transportation services for the Charleston community.
