About the company
Lackawanna County Transit System, operating as C.o.l.t.s., is a county government transit authority based in Scranton, Pennsylvania that receives federal operating and capital grants from the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration as the sole recipient, with no contract prime or subcontractor activity.
C.o.l.t.s. is a U.S. local government entity—a county transit authority—funded entirely through Federal Transit Administration formula grants under CFDA 20.507 (Federal Transit Formula Grants). The vendor operates forty-five awards across recent years as a prime grant recipient with zero subcontract involvement. All but one award flow from FTA; a single Department of Army Pennsylvania Army National Guard award carries $20 thousand in potential value and represents an outlier in the portfolio.
Recent grant work centers on Section 5307 Urbanized Area Formula Grants and pandemic-response funding. C.o.l.t.s. received $8.23 million from FTA on June 29, 2026, for operating assistance, preventive maintenance, information technology software, equipment, and bus maintenance facility improvements, with performance extending through November 30, 2027. A $6.21 million July 2025 FTA award covered Section 5307 operating assistance, Job Access and Reverse Commute preventive maintenance, and bus facility equipment projects with completion dated November 30, 2026. Earlier capital grants included a $1.17 million federal share (total project cost $1.46 million) under Sections 5307 and 5339 for preventive maintenance, a service truck purchase, bus facility maintenance equipment, office furniture, and IT software—activities completed June 15, 2023. Pandemic-related awards included a $1.65 million March 2022 Project Grant for operating assistance covering driver and administrative salaries and preventive maintenance (June 1 through December 31, 2021 period), and an American Rescue Plan Act award issued September 1, 2022, for COVID-19 related operating expenses through January 28, 2025. C.o.l.s. also received funding in August 2025 for construction of a new administration and maintenance facility, with demolition of the existing building and completion targeted for April 29, 2026.
The vendor's customer concentration is monolithic: FTA accounts for 44 of 45 awards. Combined obligated dollars ($92 million) far exceed combined potential value ($20 thousand), reflecting the fact that formula grants are fully obligated upon award and potential-value fields in this data class understate actual federal spend. Activity has declined from three awards in 2022 to one in both 2024 and 2026, with three awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to annual or multi-year recompetition cycles typical of FTA formula grants.
