Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The City of Rock Hill received a Formula Grant award of $1.61 million from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507), effective February 2, 2026, with a completion date of March 30, 2033. The funding supports the operational expenses of the City's fixed-route public transportation service, including eligible activities such as salaries, fringe benefits, overtime compensation, motor bus maintenance, training, and employee uniforms. This funding enables the City of Rock Hill to sustain critical transit operations that would otherwise face service reductions due to insufficient local resources.

The award directly benefits City residents and transit-dependent populations by maintaining continuous fixed-route service access to employment centers and essential services. As a formula grant under the Urbanized Area Formula Funding Program (49 U.S.C. 5307), the award represents the City's apportioned share of federal transit resources designated for operating assistance in urbanized areas. No subrecipient activities are associated with this award, with the City of Rock Hill serving as the sole recipient and grant administrator responsible for fund management and compliance with applicable federal requirements.
