Bladen County

Bladen County Barts Transportation Division, operating as Bart Transportation, is a local government-owned transit authority located in Elizabethtown, North Carolina. Registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since April 2017 with a registration valid until January 2026, the organization functions as a U.S. local government entity specializing in transportation services. As a transit authority, Bart Transportation plays a critical role in providing mobility solutions for Bladen County residents, offering essential transportation infrastructure and services that support the local community's connectivity and accessibility needs.

Through its federal grant sub-awards, Bart Transportation has consistently secured funding from key state-level agencies, primarily the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and the North Carolina Department of Public Safety. The organization has received multiple sub-grant awards, including a July 2024 administrative grant and a July 2023 grant specifically designated as 23-CT-053 for county administration. The December 2021 grant from the Department of Public Safety (award number 2140013) further demonstrates the entity's ongoing engagement with state and federal funding mechanisms. While the specific details of each grant are not fully elaborated, the pattern suggests Bart Transportation is primarily focused on administrative support, transit operations, and potentially infrastructure maintenance or improvement projects within the transportation sector. The consistent involvement of NCDOT as a prime grantee indicates a strong collaborative relationship between Bladen County's transit division and state transportation authorities.
