To accept and receive funding for the construction of concrete bus shelter pads as well as bus shelters for thereplacement of current shelters

The City of Wichita Falls received a $175,205.00 formula grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526), awarded on July 17, 2025. The grant funds the construction of concrete bus shelter pads and replacement bus shelters for the Wichita Falls Transit System, along with preliminary architectural and engineering services to support the identification of an engineering firm for a potential bus transfer plaza facility.

The project activities include procurement of construction materials, construction of the bus shelters, and preliminary engineering work for the bus operating layover facility. These improvements will enhance support infrastructure for the transit system and contribute to the costs associated with replacing aging passenger bus shelters and initiating the planning phase for expanded transit facilities. The project is scheduled for completion by June 29, 2027, with no identified sub-recipients, and will directly benefit the City of Wichita Falls Transit System and its ridership.
