Greyhound Lines, Inc.

Greyhound Lines, Inc., headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a for-profit intercity bus transportation company that has been registered to receive federal awards since November 2001. The company serves as a leading provider of intercity bus transportation services with over 1,750 vehicles serving more than 3,800 destinations across the United States. Greyhound has established itself as a critical service provider to multiple federal agencies, particularly the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, and has diversified its federal funding sources to include both direct contracts and grant programs aimed at supporting rural and intercity transportation infrastructure.

Through federal contract awards, Greyhound Lines, Inc. has primarily provided inmate transportation services to the Bureau of Prisons and its various correctional facilities across the United States. These contract awards, issued as firm fixed-price purchase orders, have covered inmate release transportation, inmate bus tickets for inter-institutional transfers, and unescorted bus terminal services. The company has received contracts from multiple correctional institutions including Federal Correctional Complex Beaumont, Federal Correctional Complex Yazoo City, Federal Correctional Institution El Reno, Federal Medical Center Lexington, Federal Correctional Complex Butner, and numerous other Bureau of Prisons facilities. Contract values have ranged from approximately $3,500 to over $130,000, with individual awards typically covering specific time periods such as quarterly or annual fiscal cycles. All identified contract awards operated under firm fixed-price purchase order arrangements with no set-aside designations, allowing Greyhound to leverage its nationwide transportation network to support the Bureau's inmate management and release operations.

Through federal grant awards, Greyhound Lines, Inc. has received direct prime grants and sub-grants supporting intercity bus operations across multiple states. The company received two significant direct Project Grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through the Intercity Bus Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.057), totaling $959,346 across fiscal years 2024-2027, to enhance infrastructure security, cybersecurity improvements, and emergency preparedness for its transportation systems. Additionally, Greyhound has been awarded numerous sub-grants from state departments of transportation, including Georgia, Missouri, Alabama, Kansas, Wyoming, Arizona, Florida, Vermont, California, Indiana, North Carolina, Maine, Texas, Colorado, Maryland, Washington, New Mexico, South Carolina, and Massachusetts. These sub-grants, flowing through state transportation agencies as prime grantees, primarily support Section 5311(f) intercity bus operating assistance and capital projects for vehicle procurement under the Federal Transit Administration's rural transportation programs. The sub-grant awards support Greyhound's operations on specific intercity routes, with notable multi-year funding from the Texas Department of Transportation for eight established routes spanning from Amarillo to San Antonio, El Paso to Lubbock, and various Dallas-Houston corridors, with some awards including American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and CARES Act emergency funding to sustain operations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
