About the company
Metropolitan Transit Authority of Black Hawk County, doing business as Met Transit, is a U.S. local government transit authority based in Waterloo, Iowa, that receives Federal Transit Administration formula grants and project grants as a prime grant recipient to fund fixed-route public bus service and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) paratransit operations.
Met Transit is a government entity owned by Black Hawk County and operates transit service across the Waterloo, Cedar Falls, and Evansdale, Iowa urbanized area. The organization has no federal contract prime or subcontract work; its entire federal footprint consists of formula and project grants from the Federal Transit Administration under the Urbanized Area Formula Funding Program (CFDA 20.507). Over the past five years, Met Transit has received seven federal grants totaling $96.1 million in combined obligations, with one subgrant award (FY22 CRP Bus Grant, September 18, 2024). All 26 prime grants came from a single customer agency — the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration — which accounts for 96% of the award count.
Recent grant work demonstrates the consistency of Met Transit's federal grant profile. The most recent award, dated June 12, 2026, provides $2.39 million in FY26 Section 5307 formula funds (with total obligations of $4.77 million) to cover eligible operating expenses for the July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026 fiscal year. A prior award dated July 14, 2025 provided $2.32 million in FY25 Section 5307 formula funds for the July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 period. An American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) supplemental grant awarded June 2, 2023 provided $1.95 million to restore funding and support service increases following COVID-19 ridership loss, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2028. All grants specify that funds cover driver wages, fuel, vehicle maintenance, preventative maintenance, security, insurance, and other operating costs necessary to sustain continuous transit operations. Met Transit reports no subrecipient activities across its grant awards; local matching funds derive from Black Hawk County and municipal contracts, fares, and property tax contributions. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing minimal recompete activity in that window.
