About the company
Greater Roanoke Transit Co, doing business as Valley Metro, is a municipal transit authority based in Roanoke, Virginia, that receives all its federal funding through Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grants rather than competitive contracting. Valley Metro operates as a local government entity — a city-owned transit authority — and holds no federal contracts or IDVs; its entire federal footprint consists of formula and project grants from the Department of Transportation.
Valley Metro's federal grant work centers on operating assistance, preventive maintenance, capital purchases, and infrastructure modernization for regional public transit service. Recent representative awards include a $6.591 million Federal Transit Formula Grant (CFDA 20.507) for operating assistance and preventive maintenance through April 2027; a $6.424 million Federal Transit Formula Grant for operating assistance and preventive maintenance through December 2026; a $390,171 Buses and Bus Facilities Formula Grant (CFDA 20.526) for safety and security infrastructure including LED parking lot lighting, shop equipment, and replacement service vehicles through March 2027; and a $4.768 million project grant awarded in December 2022 for purchase of three all-electric 40-foot buses and four 45-foot commuter buses. Valley Metro also received a $3.422 million American Rescue Plan Act project grant in May 2022 covering operating expenses and worker salaries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional recent work includes grants for bus charging infrastructure installation, real-time transit information systems at a new transfer center, and automatic vehicle locator systems.
The Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration accounts for 84% of awards in the recent footprint (54 total awards), with Valley Metro acting as prime recipient on 97% of federal awards and sub-recipient on two FTA 5311 Operating grants. Eight awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months. Work is performed in Virginia, and Valley Metro identifies no sub-recipients across its grant awards. Valley Metro's grant portfolio reflects formula-based federal support characteristic of local transit authorities — ongoing operating assistance paired with periodic capital and infrastructure grants tied to fleet modernization and system improvements.
