The Bi-State Development Agency of the Missouri-Illinois Metropolitan District, doing business as Metro Transit, received a $274,814,961 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration under the State of Good Repair Grants Program (CFDA 20.525). This award will fund the replacement of up to 55 light rail vehicles (LRVs) that have exceeded their useful life as part of Metro Transit's LRV Replacement Project. The project includes manufacturing and delivery of the new LRVs, as well as supporting activities such as systems testing, training, and the acquisition of spare parts and diagnostic equipment. This grant award, effective August 1, 2024, will help preserve the safety and reliability of Metro Transit's existing light rail system and support the renewal of its transit infrastructure, ultimately benefiting transit operators, riders, and the surrounding communities.
