About the company
Foothill Transit, a U.S. local government transit authority based in West Covina, California, is a recipient of federal transit grants from the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under CFDA 20.507 (Federal Transit Formula Grants) and related FTA grant programs. Foothill Transit does not hold federal contracts or IDVs; all federal work is grant-based, with 94% of recent awards as prime recipient and 6% as sub-recipient on grant activity.
Foothill Transit's federal funding footprint concentrates almost entirely on the FTA (97% of awards), with one outlier award from the Department of Energy. The agency has received $671 million in combined federal obligation across 33 awards, with all but one grant administered by the FTA. Recent grant work spans fleet replacement, infrastructure modernization, preventive maintenance, and operating assistance. Representative awards include a $7.417 million FTA formula grant awarded August 19, 2026, to replace existing infrastructure and equipment at the Arcadia/Irwindale Operations and Maintenance Facility in support of 24 double-deck buses scheduled for delivery in 2028 (performance through December 31, 2028); a $24.420 million FTA formula grant awarded March 31, 2026, to fund one year of preventive maintenance for fixed-route transit operations during July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027; and a $14.985 million FTA formula grant awarded March 31, 2026, for construction of hydrogen fueling stations and supporting infrastructure at the Pomona Operations and Maintenance Facility to enable hydrogen fuel cell operations (completion June 23, 2026). Earlier work includes a $19.674 million FTA formula grant awarded August 17, 2022, for purchase of 33 New Flyer hydrogen-electric buses using FY18 and FY19 Section 5307 funding, and a $48.462 million FFY21 Section 5307 ARPA grant awarded May 10, 2022, to support operating assistance for purchased transportation costs under contracts with Keolis and Transdev through June 30, 2025.
Grant activity has increased in recent years — two awards in 2021, two in 2022, one in 2023, five in 2024, and four in 2026 — with two awards facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Foothill Transit performs as a sub-recipient on one grant related to hydrogen refueling infrastructure (prime grantee Arches H2 LLC, awarded December 16, 2024) and one grant for 17th and Grand layover facility construction using FY19 Section 5307 funding (awarded January 6, 2026). Work is performed in California, serving the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys region of Los Angeles County. Foothill Transit does not subaward funds on the majority of its grants, opting instead to perform grant activities directly or contract with operational partners such as Keolis and Transdev for transit service delivery.
