About the company
Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit), a California-based public transit authority and inter-municipal government entity, operates as a federal grant recipient focused on transit infrastructure, fleet modernization, and accessibility services serving Alameda and Contra Costa counties in the San Francisco Bay Area. AC Transit's Capital Planning and Grants Division executes all awarded work directly with no sub-recipient pass-through activity.
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is AC Transit's dominant federal customer, accounting for 73 of 80 awards across multiple CFDA programs. AC Transit functions exclusively as a grant recipient rather than a contracting vendor; the organization does not hold federal contracts, GSA Schedules, or seats on government-wide contract vehicles. Recent activity has accelerated sharply — from one award in 2023 to fourteen in 2025 — with two additional awards in 2026 including a $6.947 million formula grant awarded August 3, 2026 to design and construct hydrogen fueling infrastructure at AC Transit's Hayward facility, running through June 30, 2031.
AC Transit's grant portfolio concentrates on three capability areas. First, fleet modernization and zero-emission vehicle transition: the organization has received multiple awards totaling $29.065 million (May 7, 2025, CFDA 20.526), $18.486 million (May 7, 2025, CFDA 20.526), and $9.32 million (June 30, 2025, CFDA 20.526) for purchase of replacement buses, hydrogen fueling infrastructure design and construction, and related capital facility upgrades. Second, workforce development and training infrastructure: AC Transit received $3.31 million (June 30, 2025, Community Project Funding, CFDA 20.534) to modernize training and education centers and upgrade maintenance bays for hydrogen fuel cell electric bus servicing. Third, paratransit operations and accessibility: formula grants including $33.9 million (August 20, 2025, CFDA 20.507) and $22.201 million (September 17, 2025, CFDA 20.526) support ADA paratransit service operations for the East Bay Paratransit Consortium and related capital needs. Fourth, transit corridor planning and operational improvement: $2.526 million (April 9, 2025, CFDA 20.507) and $1.694 million (April 9, 2025, CFDA 20.507) fund corridor studies and signal coordination projects in disadvantaged communities.
Six awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, including a formula grant awarded May 2, 2022 (completion May 6, 2026) for travel-time improvements and safety enhancements. AC Transit also acts as a sub-recipient on two federal grant sub-awards: Arches H2 LLC received a January 17, 2025 sub-award to construct an upgraded hydrogen refueling station and purchase fuel cell electric buses, while the California Office of Emergency Services received three sub-awards (July 5, 2024; April 10, 2024; December 14, 2023) for COVID-related emergency protective measures and cost management. Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards account for four additional awards across the portfolio.
