About Bay Area Transportation Authority
Bay Area Transportation Authority, a public transit authority headquartered in Traverse City, Michigan, is a U.S. government entity that receives federal grant funding from the Federal Transit Administration to support public transportation operations and capital projects. BATA operates as a grant recipient, not a contractor, and derives all recent federal funding from a single customer agency — the FTA.
BATA's federal grant portfolio centers on two core operational and capital areas: operating assistance covering wages, fuel, insurance, and other expenses necessary to maintain transit service delivery, and capital funding directed toward vehicle acquisition and technology modernization. Prime grant awards from FTA include a $403,656 formula grant under the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526) awarded May 27, 2026, providing one year of carryover operating assistance and Section 5339 capital funding for replacement revenue vehicles, with performance extending through September 30, 2029. A second prime FTA formula grant awarded September 12, 2024, funded operating costs and capital projects including yard management systems, farebox collection systems, and automatic passenger counters, with ultimate completion scheduled for March 30, 2029. BATA also acts as a sub-recipient on eleven additional FTA sub-awards dating from August 2022 through March 2026, receiving funding for operating assistance, mobility management, jobs and transportation programs, bus technology purchases including CAD/AVL systems and automatic passenger counters, and replacement vehicles with lifts. Combined potential value across all prime and sub awards totals $11.5 million.
Activity has grown modestly and recently — one award in 2022, four in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and four in 2026 — with all awards flowing through the Federal Transit Administration. BATA does not hold federal contracts or serve as a prime contractor; its federal footprint is exclusively grant-based transit operations and capital modernization funding. The authority manages no subrecipients on its two prime awards and operates in a single-agency customer environment typical of local transit authorities receiving formula and discretionary grant support from FTA.
