About the company
Eastern Panhandle Transit Authority Inc., doing business as Pantran, is a U.S. government entity — a West Virginia local transit authority — that operates fixed-route public transportation services and receives federal funding as a grant recipient from the Federal Transit Administration and the Federal Highway Administration. Pantran does not compete for federal contracts; it is not a vendor in the commercial sense but rather a federally funded public transit operator serving Berkeley and Jefferson Counties in West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle region.
Pantran's federal footprint centers on FTA formula and project grants for operational support, capital purchases, and infrastructure development. Recent representative grants include a $1.084 million formula grant (CFDA 20.526, awarded April 2026) for construction of a new administration and maintenance facility at the transit center in Martinsburg; a $916 thousand formula grant (CFDA 20.526, awarded September 2025) for the same facility project; a $446 thousand American Rescue Plan Act operating-assistance grant (FTA Section 5307, awarded September 2021) to cover operating expenses and driver salaries during the COVID recovery period; and a $1.009 million Section 5307 urbanized-area formula grant (awarded September 2021) for operating and preventive maintenance assistance. Pantran also holds a cooperative agreement with the Federal Highway Administration, executed January 2022 and running through June 2027, to operate and maintain the free transit system serving visitors to Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. Two sub-awards from the Department of Veterans Affairs (issued January 2026 and June 2024) provide funding for transportation services to seniors and individuals with disabilities under Veterans Health Administration contracts.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Federal Transit Administration — 39 awards constitute the largest share of Pantran's grant portfolio — followed by Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 (25 awards, $392 thousand combined potential value) and the National Park Service (18 awards under regional management, with 8 awards to the National Office carrying $5.3 million combined potential value). Pantran participates in two parent indefinite delivery contracts: INP15PC00142 with 6 task orders valued at $1.2 million, and VA245P0219 with 5 task orders valued at $277 thousand. Recent annual award volume has remained modest and flat — two to three awards per year over 2022 through 2026 — and nine awards face completion within the next twenty-four months. Pantran's work spans motor passenger transportation (26 awards under the primary PSC code for motor passenger operations), transit and ground passenger transportation (18 awards under the leading NAICS category), and motor pool operations (7 awards), with the majority of effort focused on maintaining fixed-route bus service and capital asset replacement for the regional transit system.
