About the company
Merrimack Valley Regional Transit Authority (MVRTA), doing business as Mvrta, is a U.S. local government entity and transit authority serving the Merrimack Valley region in northeastern Massachusetts. Registered in SAM.gov since December 2005, the organization provides critical public transportation services across a service area encompassing 13 cities and towns, including Lawrence, Methuen, Haverhill, Amesbury, and Newburyport. The transit authority operates as an inter-municipal organization, primarily focused on delivering essential transportation services to a diverse population, with a significant emphasis on serving low-income and minority communities, particularly in Lawrence, which is 83% Latino and has the lowest per capita income in Massachusetts.
MVRTA has consistently secured federal grant awards primarily from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under various grant programs, including Federal Transit Formula Grants, Passenger Ferry Grant Program, and American Rescue Plan Act funding. These grants have supported a wide range of capital and operational projects, such as bus fleet expansion and replacement (including clean diesel, hybrid-electric, and alternative fuel vehicles), infrastructure improvements, facility upgrades, and riverbank stabilization. Notable recent projects include acquiring solar-powered ferries to restore river transportation services, upgrading intelligent transportation systems, conducting short-range transit planning, and implementing COVID-19 recovery strategies. The organization has received substantial federal funding, with recent grant awards ranging from $299,747 to $14,299,284, demonstrating its capacity to secure significant federal resources to enhance public transportation infrastructure and services in the Merrimack Valley region.
