The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded a $584,232 Project Grant under the Federal Transit Capital Investment Grants program (CFDA 20.500) to the Metropolitan Council of Minnesota, doing business as Metro Transit & MTS Division. The grant will fund the purchase of 14 buses to support the new Metro Orange Line, a bus rapid transit service focused on improving access and connectivity in the I-35W corridor in Minneapolis. The Orange Line project involves the construction of guideway stations, real estate acquisition, and the procurement of transit vehicles and fare collection equipment. The grant funding will specifically support the Knox Avenue Transitway construction contract, which is expected to improve transit service frequency, reliability, and convenience for nearly 60,000 jobs outside of downtown Minneapolis. No subrecipient activities are planned under this award.
