About the company
The City of Winston-Salem Winston-Salem Transit Authority Division, operating as the Public Works Department, is a U.S. municipal government entity that receives federal transit grants from the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to operate and maintain fixed-route bus service, paratransit, and specialized mobility services for the Winston-Salem urbanized area in North Carolina. The entity acts as a prime grant recipient (97% of its 94 awards) and coordinates sub-recipient programming through the Winston-Salem Area Transportation Planning Organization (WSATPO).
The FTA accounts for 98% of the entity's award portfolio, with 90 formula and project grants spanning capital purchases, operating assistance, and mobility innovation programs. Recent representative awards include a $740,515 formula grant (February 2026, CFDA 20.526) for bus capital and operating assistance extending through March 2034; a $730,434 formula grant (February 2026, CFDA 20.513) for enhanced mobility services to seniors and individuals with disabilities, distributed across eight sub-recipients through March 2033; a $5.23 million project grant (March 2025, CFDA 20.526) for acquisition of five diesel-electric hybrid buses to replace end-of-life fleet vehicles; a $7.91 million project grant (July 2023, CFDA 20.507) for operating assistance and facility improvements extending through March 2029; and a $9.93 million American Rescue Plan project grant (December 2021, CFDA 20.507) for three years of COVID-19 recovery operating costs through March 2024. The entity also administers the Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) program, which funds employment-focused transportation for low-income and welfare-recipient populations.
The Winston-Salem Transit Authority's portfolio spans acquisition of replacement vehicles (buses and paratransit vans), passenger amenities and communications equipment, facility renovations and maintenance, software contracts for paratransit tracking and mobile ticketing, and operating expenses including driver payroll, fuel, and preventive maintenance. Sub-recipients coordinated through WSATPO include nonprofit organizations (The Shepherds Center of Greater Winston-Salem, The Shepherds Center of Kernersville), governmental agencies (Davidson County Transportation, Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation), and for-profit transportation providers (Here-2-There Van Service) delivering senior and disability-focused mobility services.
Award activity has grown modestly in recent years—from one award in 2022 to six in 2024, with four in 2025 and three through February 2026—with combined obligated dollars across the full portfolio totaling $222.2 million. Eleven awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure. The entity also holds three sub-grant awards from the North Carolina Department of Public Safety and unspecified planning activities from state and regional planning bodies, though these represent a small fraction of total activity. The Environmental Protection Agency and Federal Emergency Management Agency each account for one award in the portfolio.
