About Greater Portland Transit District
Greater Portland Transit District (doing business as Metro), a U.S. local government transit authority based in Portland, Maine, is a recipient of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grants supporting fixed-route bus operations, capital fleet replacement, ADA paratransit services, and transit facility improvements across the Greater Portland metropolitan area.
Metro operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient with no contract prime or subcontractor work in the source data. The organization is a public transit authority structured as a local government entity, serving commuters, students, tourists, and the general public through a regional network funded entirely by the Federal Transit Administration under CFDA 20.507 (Federal Transit Formula Grants), CFDA 20.526 (Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs), and pandemic-relief authorities (CARES Act Section 5307).
Metro's recent award footprint spans 46 total grants from a single customer agency—the Federal Transit Administration—with combined dollars obligated totaling $166.4 million over the life of the awards. Activity has been episodic: two awards in 2022, five in 2023, one in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026. Representative recent work includes a $14.58 million formula grant awarded September 9, 2025, covering fixed-route bus service operations (with 50% local match from member municipalities), capital preventive maintenance, and ADA paratransit services running through December 31, 2027; a $3.054 million project grant awarded May 7, 2026, funding replacement of six aging transit buses (five 2011 diesel and one 2014 CNG bus) with six new 2025 clean diesel 35-foot buses compliant with ADA low-floor and ramp requirements, scheduled for completion by October 31, 2026; and a $2.265 million CARES Act Section 5307 grant awarded July 5, 2022, supporting operating expenses including worker salaries, fuel, maintenance, and facility costs during fiscal years 2022 and 2023.
Eleven awards have ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete or renewal deadlines. Metro's formula grants consistently require local match funding from member municipalities (50% for fixed-route bus service, 20% for ADA paratransit). The organization manages no federal subrecipients except on mobility-management grants, where the Greater Portland Council of Governments serves as subrecipient to administer community transportation leadership programs, bus ambassador initiatives, and travel helper services for underrepresented transit users.
