About the company
Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority, operating as Wheels, is a U.S. local government transit authority that receives federal transit grants as the prime recipient from the Federal Transit Administration under multiple Federal Transit Formula Grants programs and congressionally directed spending. The organization is not a federal contractor and does not compete on contract vehicles; its federal footprint consists entirely of grants to support fixed-route bus operations, Americans with Disabilities Act paratransit services, fleet modernization, hydrogen fueling infrastructure, and facility maintenance across its service area in Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore, and unincorporated Alameda County, California.
LAVTA's recent federal award activity spans transit capital and operating assistance. Representative work includes a $28.6 million Federal Transit Formula Grants award (CFDA 20.507) obligated on July 25, 2025, for procurement and deployment of 12 replacement hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles and nine months of ADA paratransit operating assistance; a $7.445 million Formula Grant award (CFDA 20.507) obligated on January 7, 2025, for construction of a hydrogen fueling station and maintenance infrastructure at its Atlantis facility to accommodate up to 34 hydrogen fuel-cell electric buses with future expansion to 120 vehicles; a $3.75 million Congressionally Directed Spending project grant (CFDA 20.534) awarded May 10, 2025, to expand an existing hydrogen fueling station with a secondary 15,000-gallon hydrogen storage tank; and a $1.325 million Formula Grant award (CFDA 20.507) obligated June 18, 2026, for design-engineering and project management support to advance the Atlantis Facility construction project. Additional recurring grants fund ADA paratransit operating assistance and passenger facilities enhancements. All awards carry no subrecipient activities — LAVTA acts as the direct federal grant recipient.
The Federal Transit Administration is LAVTA's sole customer agency, accounting for 42 of 43 total awards in the source data (98% coverage). Combined potential value across all grants obligated and in progress totals $160.2 million. Activity has remained steady at two to three awards annually over the past five years, with eight awards reaching ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, exposing the organization to recompete on renewal and expansion rounds. LAVTA's federal footprint is concentrated on zero-emission fleet transition — moving from diesel-electric hybrid buses to hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles — and maintaining compliance with ADA transportation mandates, with supporting capital investments in fueling infrastructure and maintenance facility upgrades to accommodate the new technology.
