About the company
Gary Public Transportation Corp (doing business as GPTC), a U.S. local government transit authority based in Gary, Indiana, receives federal formula and project grants for public transportation capital and operating assistance as the prime recipient under the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration and Federal Highway Administration programs. GPTC is a municipal entity — not a commercial contractor — and does not compete for federal contracts or sit on federal contract vehicles; its federal footprint consists exclusively of direct grants from the FTA.
GPTC's federal grant work centers on the Urbanized Area Formula Funding Program (CFDA 20.507) and the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526), funding fixed-route and paratransit transit operations and fleet modernization in Gary and Northwestern Indiana. The most recent award, issued by the FTA on August 20, 2026, carries $18.1 million in combined potential value through December 31, 2035, supporting revenue vehicle replacement, preventive maintenance planning and activities, and operating assistance for fixed-route and paratransit services. A second award from the FTA on September 9, 2025, valued at $1.2 million through July 31, 2035, funds acquisition of replacement revenue vehicles and maintenance equipment. An earlier $31.9 million project grant from June 29, 2022, running through March 2029, supported electric bus purchases, passenger amenities at bus stops, preventive maintenance, paratransit services, and transportation planning across five distinct projects, combining $8.6 million in federal funding from the FTA and Federal Highway Administration with $3 million in local matching funds. A fourth grant from September 22, 2023, with ultimate completion in November 2024, provided operating assistance for continued fixed-route and paratransit service delivery.
Across 39 total federal awards spanning from 1999 to the present, GPTC has obligated $157.5 million, with all work routed through the Federal Transit Administration (38 awards) and one award through the Federal Highway Administration. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The intended beneficiaries of all grants include transit-dependent riders in the Gary and Northwestern Indiana region and broader community economic development; no sub-recipients are identified across GPTC's grant portfolio.
