The South Bend Public Transportation Corporation (Transpo) will utilize a $4,759,610 Project Grant award from the Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration under the Federal Transit Formula Grants (CFDA 20.507) program to support operating costs and capital projects for its fixed route bus and ADA paratransit services through March 2027. Funding will offset expenses for vehicle maintenance, operations, and upgrades to safety and security systems across Transpo's transit network serving South Bend and Mishawaka, Indiana. Specific activities include software updates, scheduling support, facility repairs, and a study to determine future vehicle purchases. The award also allows Transpo to complete maintenance initiatives started under prior grants. As the designated public transportation provider for the region and direct recipient of FTA formula funds, Transpo will deliver continued accessible and reliable public transit options for residents through this funding.
