Fund a portion of state of good repair projects at the elizabeth duff transit center and the nestor facility

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded Nashville Metropolitan Transit Authority $3,698,379 on August 8, 2025, under the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526). The funding supports state of good repair projects through reconstruction activities at two key transit facilities: the Nestor Operations and Maintenance Facility and the Elizabeth Duff Transit Center. These capital improvement projects will maintain transit assets in functional condition and serve the populace and visitors of Davidson County, Tennessee, with a project completion deadline of March 30, 2032.

The award represents a formula grant allocation directed toward facility rehabilitation rather than vehicle procurement, demonstrating the program's dual focus on bus-related equipment and infrastructure. No subrecipients are involved in the project delivery. The six-year implementation timeline reflects the substantial scope of reconstruction work required to bring these essential transit facilities to acceptable operational standards while supporting Nashville Metropolitan Transit Authority's ongoing mission to provide reliable public transportation infrastructure for the Nashville metropolitan area.
