About Clark County Public Transportation Benefit Area
Clark County Public Transportation Benefit Area, doing business as C-Tran, is a U.S. local government transit authority in Vancouver, Washington that receives federal grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The organization is not a federal contractor; its footprint consists entirely of federal transit grants and small commercial purchase orders for transit passes sold to federal agencies.
C-Tran operates regional fixed-route bus service and specialized mobility programs across the Clark County area, funded through Federal Transit Formula Grants (CFDA 20.507), State of Good Repair Grants (CFDA 20.525), the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities program (CFDA 20.513), and competitive Capital Investment Grants (CFDA 20.526, 20.509) from FTA. Grant work funds fleet maintenance, vehicle procurement (including replacement diesel, hydrogen fuel cell, and electric buses), bus rapid transit capital projects, and specialized transportation services for seniors and people with disabilities. C-Tran receives the vast majority of its federal funding through FTA formula grants tied to its urbanized-area allocation under the Portland-Vancouver, OR-WA urbanized area; these grants have supported preventive maintenance, fleet replacements, and two major bus rapid transit initiatives: the Mill Plain BRT project (funded through $24.9 million in Section 5309 Small Starts discretionary grants, project development grants totaling $850 thousand, and $3.3 million in CMAQ funds transferred to Section 5307) and the Highway 99 BRT project (funded through a $3.24 million Section 5307 formula grant awarded June 2, 2026 for construction through December 2027). C-Tran also operates mobility-management and volunteer-driver programs for non-ambulatory individuals and at-risk populations, delivered through subrecipient agreements with Volunteers in Motion and Catholic Community Services under the Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility program.
C-Tran holds four small-dollar commercial purchase orders from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington Region for annual C-Tran Express transit passes ($9,240 awarded August 2025, $5,915.49 awarded August 2023, $6,531.25 awarded July 2022, $2,599.91 awarded September 2021) sold to federal employees in Portland, Oregon. The organization also holds a single sub-grant award from Washington State Military Department related to FEMA COVID-19 emergency protective measures (February 2023).
Recent grant activity shows four awards in 2025 (including the Highway 99 BRT construction grant) and two awards in 2026, following a 2024 lull, reflecting the cyclical nature of FTA capital-project funding. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $453 million against $3 million in combined potential value, driven by the massive real obligation of multi-year operational and capital grants. The FTA accounts for 121 of the 163 total awards in the source data (74% by count), reflecting C-Tran's primary mission as an FTA formula-grant recipient. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal ($9 thousand combined potential value across three awards). C-Tran competes for grants in full-and-open FTA programs; the organization is not set-aside eligible and holds no SBA designations.
