To provide funds for the construction of a passenger transfer facility allowing connections among several transit routes

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded $3.75 million to the Williamsburg Area Transit Authority under the Community Project Funding Congressionally Directed Spending program (CFDA 20.534) on July 8, 2025. The project grant funds the construction of a new passenger transfer facility designed to enable connections among multiple transit routes serving James City County, York County, and the City of Williamsburg, Virginia. The facility is expected to be completed by December 31, 2026.

The primary deliverable is a modern transfer facility that will improve overall transportation services by creating a safer environment for passengers, pedestrians, and drivers. As a congressionally directed spending award, this project was specifically identified by Congress and supports the FTA's broader transit infrastructure modernization goals under Chapter 53 of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. No subrecipient activities are associated with this award; the Williamsburg Area Transit Authority, a local government-owned public transit provider, will serve as the sole implementer of the project.
