About the company
Manchester Transit Authority, a New Hampshire local government transit authority and subsidiary of the City of Manchester, receives federal grants from the Federal Transit Administration to operate fixed-route, demand-response, express, and complementary ADA paratransit transit services across the Greater Manchester and Salem/Derry regions. The Authority operates entirely as a direct recipient of FTA formula and project grants with no federal contracting footprint—all work is performed in New Hampshire as a transportation provider rather than as a contractor.
MTA is the largest transit provider in New Hampshire, serving Manchester, Derry, Londonderry, Salem, Hampstead, and Chester across multiple urbanized areas (Manchester, Nashua, and Boston). The Authority's recent grant portfolio totals $116.1 million across 46 awards obligated since 2022, with the Federal Transit Administration accounting for 45 of those awards (98% of activity). The single Environmental Protection Agency award does not appear to involve active grant work. MTA holds no sub-recipient arrangements—all grants are direct awards to the Authority for its own operations.
Recent major awards include an $8.118 million FTA Section 5307 formula grant (CFDA 20.507) issued August 4, 2026, supporting FY2027 operating assistance, preventive maintenance, ADA paratransit services, mobility management, and planning through September 30, 2027; a $24.903 million FTA Buses and Bus Facilities project grant (CFDA 20.526) issued July 16, 2026, funding three-phase construction of Manchester's first transit center through July 1, 2028; a $6.306 million FTA Section 5307 formula grant issued February 2, 2026, for FY2026 operations through December 31, 2026; and a $104,652 capital grant issued July 28, 2026, funding one replacement van and two fare-box systems through March 31, 2027. Historical grants also include $1.204 million in American Rescue Plan Act Section 5307/5310 funds (August 22, 2022) and $3.023 million in Section 5307/5310 formula funding (August 17, 2022).
Award activity has remained steady at two awards annually from 2022 through 2025, rising to four in 2026. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete or renewal opportunities. MTA's operational scope is anchored to the Greater Manchester region and the seven-town CART service area merged into MTA operations in October 2019, with service expansion planned to support the Nashua-Manchester passenger rail project led by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation. The Authority's grant funding supports capital procurement (replacement vehicles, fare collection systems) and operational activities including maintenance, ADA compliance, mobility call-center operations coordinating with community nutrition programs, and long-range transit planning.
