About the company
ANN Arbor Area Transportation Authority, doing business as Theride, is a U.S. local government transit authority based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, that receives federal grant funding from the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to operate fixed-route and demand-response public transit services and procure transit capital assets in the Ann Arbor–Ypsilanti service area. The authority acts exclusively as a grant recipient (96% of recent awards) rather than a federal contractor, with no federal contract prime awardees and no seat on federal contract vehicles.
Theride's federal grant portfolio centers entirely on FTA formula and competitive programs under CFDA 20.526 (Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs) and CFDA 20.507 (Section 5307 Urbanized Area Formula Grants). Recent major awards include a $31.25 million project grant awarded July 27, 2026, to procure up to 27 diesel-electric hybrid buses with ultimate completion by September 30, 2030; a $24.034 million formula grant awarded September 16, 2022, spanning October 2021 through December 2027, covering large-bus and small-bus replacement (up to 16 and 5 vehicles respectively), bus terminal facility rehabilitation, support-vehicle procurement, and operating assistance; a $363,231 formula grant awarded September 26, 2022, for senior and disability mobility services and subrecipient support running through September 30, 2026; a $22.269 million American Rescue Plan Section 5307 operating-assistance award dated April 14, 2022, prioritizing payroll reimbursement during pandemic response; and a $15.771 million Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) Section 5307 operating-assistance award also dated April 14, 2022, completing January 9, 2025. The authority serves as a prime recipient on all major awards, with three sub-grant awards to other entities managing operating-assistance flows; work is performed in Michigan.
Customer concentration is absolute: 65 of 66 prime awards (96% coverage) flow from the FTA, with one award from the Federal Highway Administration. Combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total $306.4 million. Award activity shows episodic volume — one award in 2021, six in 2022, one in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 — consistent with the rhythm of federal transit formula allocations and capital procurement cycles rather than a steady-state contracting footprint. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure.
