Human Resource Program

The Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration has awarded three Project Grants totaling $640 thousand under the Human Resource Program (CFDA 20.511), with the most recent award disbursed on September 25, 2008. This program has not received new grant awards in over 18 years, and no current grant opportunities are posted. The portfolio shows minimal recent activity: grants were awarded in 2004, 2007, and 2008, with no documented funding rounds thereafter. Award cadence was sparse even during the active period—roughly one award per year across a three-year window—and no solicitations are currently open.

All recorded awards were Project Grants funding transportation training and workforce development activities. The three recipients, all TRANSTECH ACADEMY entities, received awards in the $100 thousand to $300 thousand range. The September 2008 award to TRANSTECH ACADEMY supported a project with a completion date of September 25, 2009 and obligated $240 thousand in federal funds; the prior year award to TRANSTECH ACADEMY T obligated $300 thousand; the 2004 award obligated $100 thousand.

The Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration was the sole funding agency across all awards. Award sizes suggest this program targeted workforce-development initiatives in transit administration and related transportation sectors, though the sparse recent activity and lack of open solicitations indicate the program is effectively dormant. Organizations seeking federal funding for human resources or workforce development in the transit sector should verify current program status with FTA directly before investing application effort, as no awards have been made in nearly two decades and no upcoming opportunities are evident in the available data.
