About the company
Casco Bay Island Transit District, operating as Casco Bay Lines, is a local government transit authority based in Portland, Maine, that acts as a federal grant recipient under the Federal Transit Administration's formula and discretionary grant programs (CFDA 20.507). The vendor does not hold federal contracts; it operates exclusively as a grant recipient under FTA programs and does not pursue set-aside contracting.
Casco Bay Island Transit District operates a passenger ferry service connecting Portland to six island communities in Casco Bay. Its federal grant portfolio centers on vessel acquisition, terminal and pier infrastructure renovation, preventive maintenance of existing fleet assets, and operating expenses. Recent representative work includes a $19.498 million FTA award in August 2026 under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) to design, construct, and oversee a new passenger ferry vessel to replace the Maquoit II, which has exceeded its useful life; the award combines $3.6 million in FFY2021 Section 5307 Discretionary Passenger Ferry Grant Program funds, $88,101 in FFY2021 Section 5307 Urbanized Area Formula funds, and $12.885 million in FFY2022–2025 Section 5307 Urbanized Area Formula funds, with a local match of $2.924 million. Work on that vessel commences May 1, 2025, and reaches ultimate completion on June 30, 2028. A separate $3.634 million State of Good Repair Formula Program (Section 5337) award in September 2023 funded construction of a replacement vessel for the Machigonne ferry serving Peaks Island, with those funds covering additional costs attributable to COVID-19 pandemic impacts and material price escalation. A May 2024 formula grant funded construction and installation of a side-loading ramp at the Portland terminal to improve passenger boarding and debarking efficiency.
The Federal Transit Administration is the sole material customer agency, holding 50 of 52 prime grant awards (90% of recent awards) and 86% of combined obligated dollars across the vendor's $96.3 million portfolio. Five awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor receives FTA grant sub-awards (secondary distribution of FTA funds from the State of Maine) and acts as a prime recipient on direct FTA awards; no subcontracting relationship is disclosed. Because Casco Bay Island Transit District is a local government entity rather than a for-profit contractor, it does not compete under small-business set-asides and operates under FTA's direct grant-recipient framework rather than the competitive federal procurement system.
