The Memphis Area Transit Authority (MATA) received a $2.792 million project grant award from the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration under the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526). The funding will support MATA's replacement of its 2009 computer-aided dispatch/automated vehicle location (CAD/AVL) system, which has reached the end of its useful life. The new CAD/AVL system will ensure continued effective communication between MATA vehicle operators and dispatchers. This project grant complements an existing $5.339 million grant to MATA under the same CFDA program. The award period is from March 2023 through March 2030. No sub-recipients are involved. The funding aims to benefit MATA passengers and employees through maintenance and improvement of the transit agency's communications technology.
