The City of Cincinnati received a $3,130,144 project grant award from the Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration to provide preventative maintenance assistance for the city's streetcar system, known as the Cincinnati Bell Connector, from July 1, 2021 through December 16, 2022. The grant funding will cover eligible preventative maintenance activities conducted by the city's third-party contractor, Transdev NA, in accordance with an established maintenance plan. This includes inspections, replacing worn or damaged equipment, and minor rehabilitations and overhauls. Proper preventative maintenance conducted on a regular schedule helps maintain the streetcar system in a state of good repair, increasing safety and reliability for the residents and visitors of Cincinnati who use the transit services. The grant is funded through $1,000,000 in FY21 Federal Lands Transportation Program funds from the Ohio Department of Transportation and $198,492 and $53,566 in lapsed Federal Transit Administration Section 5307 formula funds transferred from Clermont County Transportation.
