The Winston-Salem Transit Authority was awarded a $725,708 project grant from the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration's Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526). The grant will fund the purchase of four replacement paratransit vehicles and capital maintenance items to enhance transportation access for those with special needs. The grant period runs from August 2021 to March 2025.
The Winston-Salem Transit Authority will apply the funding to purchase four Trans-Aid gasoline vehicles to replace older vehicles in its complementary paratransit fleet, which has experienced increased ridership in recent years. The vehicles will help achieve the program's goal of improving personal mobility options. The City of Winston-Salem will serve as the direct recipient of the grant funds on behalf of the transit authority.
