About the company
The City of Jackson, doing business as Jackson Transportation Authority (JATA), is a public transit authority operating as a recipient of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) formula grants under CFDA 20.526 (Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs). JATA is a child entity of the City of Jackson municipal government, a U.S. local government based in Jackson, Michigan, and operates exclusively as a grant recipient rather than a federal contractor — 91% of its federal awards are prime grants, with 9% as sub-recipient pass-throughs from the FTA.
JATA's federal work centers on public transit operations and infrastructure modernization. The authority receives annual Section 5307 operating-assistance grants covering driver wages, fuel, preventive maintenance, insurance, and fixed-route and demand-response transit service delivery, along with mandatory 1% allocations toward safety and security enhancements aligned with the Public Transit Agency Safety Plan (PTASP). Section 5339 facility rehabilitation funds address critical maintenance needs such as bus storage rehabilitation, parking lot light replacement, bathroom modernization, overhead-door replacement, and maintenance-facility upgrades. Community Reinvestment Program (CRP) and Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) Rural Task Force funding supports new van and bus purchases to expand mobility across Jackson County. Representative awards include a $260,734 formula grant obligated January 20, 2026 with completion by December 31, 2027, a $2.7 million FY 2022 combined-funding award (obligated September 13, 2022, completing March 31, 2028) that included $800,000 in competitive Section 5339(b) funds for two new city buses, a $1.4 million FY 2021 award for facility rehabilitation and operating assistance (obligated August 23, 2021, completing March 24, 2026), and a $1.6 million Section 5307 American Rescue Plan COVID-relief grant for operating expenses and payroll (obligated August 13, 2021, completing January 22, 2025).
JATA's customer base is entirely concentrated within a single federal grantor: the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration accounts for all 31 prime grants and 3 sub-awards across the source data. Activity is episodic rather than continuous — two awards in 2021, one each in 2022, 2024, and 2025, and two in early 2026 — reflecting the annual or multi-year rhythm of FTA formula grant allocations and competitive project funding cycles. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompetition or renewal under FTA formula-allocation schedules. The combined obligated value across all awards in the source data totals $78.3 million since 1999. JATA does not subcontract out transit operations or infrastructure work and does not sit on parent contract vehicles; it operates as a direct recipient of FTA grants managed by the City of Jackson municipal government.
