The Missouri Department of Transportation (MODOT) received a $891,940 project grant award from the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526) on July 22, 2022. The grant funds will be used to purchase land for the construction of a new transportation facility by Oats, Incorporated (Oats Inc.) in Lees Summit, Missouri. Specifically, MODOT was allocated $356,776 in Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5339 funds, which it will apply towards the $4 million estimated cost of the Oats Inc. facility project, with the federal share being $3.2 million and a local share of $800,000. The new facility is expected to save on operational costs compared to using contracted services, add efficiencies, and help maintain transit buses. The project aims to be completed by October 24, 2022.
