This $116,784 federal Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (CFDA 20.507 - Federal Transit Formula Grants) will support the East Tennessee Human Resource Agency, Inc. (ETHRA) in purchasing one replacement 30-foot light duty cutaway transit bus to serve the Knoxville urbanized area. The award provides 80% federal funds ($93,427), 10% Tennessee Department of Transportation state matching funds ($11,679), and 10% ETHRA local matching funds ($11,678). The new vehicle will meet the FTA-defined useful life of 5 years or 150,000 miles and will replace an older bus that has reached the end of its service life. This grant will enable ETHRA, the sole public transit provider in the expanded Knoxville urbanized area, to continue delivering critical door-to-door, curb-to-curb, and paratransit services to residents, including persons with disabilities, across Anderson, Blount, Loudon, and Sevier counties. The grant was awarded on August 24, 2024, with an ultimate project completion date of March 30, 2030.
