The City of Gainesville received a $600,000 project grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) to identify opportunities to restore and expand transit services. The city will collaborate with community partners to gather data and involve the public to develop a draft report and recommendations. Activities will focus on reducing travel time, increasing trip frequency, and incorporating complementary travel modes to address transit concerns. Anticipated outcomes include improved service quality, increased access to disadvantaged communities, and greater racial equity. As no subrecipient activities are specified, the city will utilize the full award amount to engage stakeholders and evaluate existing transit services' ability to support social and economic opportunities through dependable transportation and improved service proposals. Completion is expected by March 2029.
