About the company
Capital District Transportation Authority, doing business as CDTA, is a public transit authority subordinate to the State of New York that receives federal grants as the direct recipient for transit operations, vehicle procurement, infrastructure projects, and system modernization across the New York Capital Region and Mid-Hudson Region. CDTA operates entirely within the federal grant space under the Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration, with no prime or subcontractor role in the federal contract marketplace.
CDTA's federal footprint consists almost entirely of formula grants and project grants from the Federal Transit Administration under CFDA 20.507 (Federal Transit Formula Grants) and CFDA 20.526 (Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs), supplemented by one competitive project grant from the Federal Highway Administration under CFDA 20.939 (Safe Streets and Roads for All). The authority has received 133 federal awards since 1999, with 129 of those from the FTA. Recent grant work includes a $38.011 million project grant awarded August 11, 2026, for the purchase of twenty diesel-electric hybrid transit buses and deployment of a comprehensive enterprise asset management system integrated with fuel management and transit depot management; a $29.762 million formula grant awarded the same date for maintenance and infrastructure activities during 2026 and 2027, including preventive maintenance, shelter rehabilitation, vehicle purchases, and IT infrastructure upgrades; a $1.787 million formula grant awarded August 27, 2026, for traffic operations software procurement and analytics capabilities supporting traffic signal priority and queue jumper investments; and a $29.398 million project grant from August 2023 for the purchase of twelve electric buses and related charging infrastructure. CDTA also received a $5.294 million competitive project grant from the Federal Highway Administration in March 2026 to implement pedestrian and transit safety improvements for the Red Line Bus Rapid Transit system in Albany.
Activity shows five awards in 2026 year to date and five in 2025, following a slight decline from nine in 2023 and seven in 2024. The combined obligation across all federal awards reaches $1.03 billion, with 10 awards facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. CDTA received one federal grant sub-award from the State of New York's Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services in February 2023 for COVID exposure management barriers and PPE, but operates as a prime recipient on 132 of 133 awards. Customer concentration is extreme: the Federal Transit Administration accounts for 129 of 133 awards (97%), with the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Transportation Immediate Office of the Secretary, Federal Highway Administration, and Federal Emergency Management Agency each providing one award. CDTA has no federal contract vehicles, IDIQs, or prime contract awards; all federal work flows through formula and project grant mechanisms tied to transit operations and capital improvements in its six-county service area.
