About Foothill Transit
Foothill Transit, a U.S. local government transit authority based in West Covina, California, receives federal grant funding from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) as the primary recipient under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) to sustain fixed-route public transportation operations across the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys region of Los Angeles County. The transit authority does not hold federal contracts as a prime or subcontractor; its federal engagement is entirely grant-based, with no subawards planned across its grant portfolio.
Foothill Transit's federal grant footprint centers exclusively on the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration, which accounts for all 30 prime grants in the source data (97% of total awards) with a combined $662.2 million in dollars obligated across the full activity history. Recent awards span preventive maintenance, fleet replacement, hydrogen fueling infrastructure, and pandemic-era operating assistance. In March 2026, FTA awarded $24.4 million under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program for one year of preventive maintenance services — fleet safety inspections, HVAC service, wheelchair accessibility maintenance, and equipment upkeep — supporting fixed-route operations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. In the same month, FTA awarded $14.985 million for construction of hydrogen fueling stations, dispensers, and supporting infrastructure at Foothill Transit's Pomona Operations and Maintenance Facility to enable hydrogen fuel cell bus operations. Earlier in 2024, three separate FTA Project Grants and Formula Grants funded the purchase of 72 replacement vehicles (19 vehicles in one award, 24 each in two others) with completion dates extending through December 2028. Historical awards include a $48.462 million FFY21 ARPA Section 5307 Formula Grant (May 2022) supporting operating costs for purchased transportation through Keolis and Transdev contractors, a $30.154 million CRRSAA Section 5307 Formula Grant (August 2021) for purchased transportation operating assistance, and a $19.674 million FY18–FY19 Section 5307 Formula Grant (August 2022) for the purchase of 33 New Flyer hydrogen-electric buses. One sub-award exists in the portfolio: a $1.027 million FY19 Section 5307 sub-award (January 2026) for construction of 17th and Grand layover facilities to accommodate 24-7 parking and staging of commuter buses.
Activity has been modest and cyclical — two awards in both 2021 and 2022, one in 2023, four in 2024, and three in 2026 — with two awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Foothill Transit's federal footprint reflects the statutory structure of FTA's Formula Grant program: direct funding to designated transit authorities within urbanized areas, with grant work spanning operating assistance, capital procurement, facility construction, and preventive maintenance directly supporting regional public transportation service delivery.
