About Capital District Transportation Authority
Capital District Transportation Authority (doing business as Cdta), a child entity of the State of New York registered in SAM.gov since 2008, acts as a federal grant recipient for regional public transportation infrastructure and operations, funded almost exclusively (126 of 130 awards) by the Federal Transit Administration under formula grant programs including the Federal Transit Formula Grants (CFDA 20.507), Buses and Bus Facilities Formula programs (CFDA 20.526), and the Safe Streets and Roads for All Project Grant program (CFDA 20.939). Cdta competes on formula-grant funding exclusively rather than under set-asides, receiving direct allocations as the designated transit authority serving six counties in the New York Capital District and Mid-Hudson region.
Cdta's grant portfolio centers on three capability areas: commuter and regional bus service operations and contractor oversight, capital fleet and infrastructure modernization, and transit-oriented economic development. Representative work includes a $24 million Federal Transit Formula Grant (CFDA 20.507) awarded August 28, 2025, supporting preventive maintenance, vehicle and facility asset replacements, and IT infrastructure across fiscal years 2024–2025; a $29.4 million electric bus and charging-infrastructure project grant (CFDA 20.526) awarded August 18, 2023, to purchase 12 electric buses and transition 25 percent of the fleet to zero-emission vehicles; a $18.6 million Federal Transit Formula Grant (CFDA 20.507) awarded September 20, 2024, for upgrades to the BusPlus Red Line including articulated bus purchases, shelter rehabilitation, and transit priority infrastructure; and a $5.29 million Safe Streets and Roads for All Project Grant (CFDA 20.939) awarded March 25, 2026, to implement pedestrian and transit safety improvements for the Red Line Bus Rapid Transit system, with completion targeted for March 25, 2029. Cdta also holds a $60.9 million Capital Investment Grant (CFDA 20.509) for the Washington-Western/Purple Line Bus Rapid Transit project infrastructure, awarded September 24, 2021.
Customer concentration is absolute: the Federal Transit Administration accounts for 100 percent of named awards (126 of 126 grants listed in top-customers ranking, combined value $956.5 million obligated across the 130-award portfolio). Four additional federal agencies appear in the source with single-award entries each—the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Transportation Immediate Office of the Secretary, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency—but Cdta's federal footprint is effectively unidivisional. Activity has declined from a peak of nine awards in 2023 to two awards in 2026; ten awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure in that window.
Cdta acts as direct prime recipient on 129 of 130 awards (99 percent), with one sub-award appearance in February 2023 as a sub-recipient under the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services for COVID exposure-management barriers and personal protective equipment. The organizational structure reflects Cdta's role as a regional transit authority subordinate to the State of New York, receiving formula-allocated federal funding for system operations, fleet replacement, and major capital projects in a reauthorization cycle tied to federal transportation appropriations rather than competitive procurement.
