About the company
City Of Brownsville Multimodal Transportation Division, operating as Brownsville Metro, is a U.S. local government transit authority that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient to operate and expand fixed-route bus and paratransit service in the Brownsville, Texas urbanized area. Brownsville Metro is a division of the City of Brownsville and operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient (93% of awards are prime grants); it does not hold federal contracts or sit on contract vehicles. The division serves elderly, disabled, and general-transit passengers in the Brownsville urbanized area.
Brownsville Metro's federal grant portfolio concentrates almost entirely on the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration, which accounts for 54 of 59 awards (92% of the total), with three grants from the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance and one each from the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration. The combined dollars obligated across all awards total $123.3 million.
Grant work spans four federal programs. The Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) anchors the portfolio with multiple awards supporting preventive maintenance, operating assistance, and software enhancements for real-time route visibility and passenger information systems. Recent representative awards include a $6.409 million formula grant awarded March 16, 2026 (performance through June 1, 2031) and a $6.11 million formula grant awarded September 15, 2025 (performance through June 30, 2028), both funding ongoing preventive maintenance and software enhancements. The Buses and Bus Facilities Formula Grant program (CFDA 20.526) funds facility rehabilitation and equipment acquisition; representative awards include a $374,323 grant for La Plaza Bus Terminal and Bus Bay rehabilitation (July 21, 2026, through January 29, 2029) and a $352,904 grant for mobile fare collection equipment and kiosks (September 10, 2025, through January 29, 2027). The Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program (CFDA 20.513) supports paratransit scheduling software, preventive maintenance, and ADA coordinator positions; a $612,328 award on August 26, 2025 (performance through December 31, 2027) exemplifies this work. The Safe Streets and Roads for All program (CFDA 20.939) supported the Brownsville Safety Demonstration Project with a $320,306 award on September 2, 2026 (performance through September 2, 2028).
