Through various federal grants, primarily from the Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Cata receives funding to operate, maintain and improve its transit system infrastructure and services.
Cata has been awarded over 15 prime federal grants from the FTA under programs including Federal Transit Formula Grants, Buses and Bus Facilities Formula Grants, and Public Transportation Innovation Grants. These awards have provided over $100 million to date for operating assistance, planning, capital investments in facilities/equipment, bus procurement/replacement, maintenance, customer amenities, mobility management, safety improvements, and electric bus infrastructure. Cata also occasionally receives FTA grants as a subrecipient under the Michigan Department of Transportation. Additionally, Cata was allocated over $18 million in Federal Transit Formula Grant funding through the CARES Act to support operating expenses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The prime and subawards allow Cata to serve its ridership through an array of transit services spanning urban and rural areas of Ingham, Eaton and Clinton Counties.
