About the company
Metrowest Regional Transit Authority (MWRTA), a U.S. local government transit authority based in Framingham, Massachusetts, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering public transportation services and transit infrastructure to 16 communities in the Boston Metrowest region. MWRTA receives formula grants exclusively from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to fund operations, capital vehicle procurement, facility maintenance, and service expansion; the authority acts as a prime recipient on substantially all awards (86% of 57 total awards since 1999, with $104 million combined obligations) and holds no federal contracts or contract vehicles.
MWRTA's capability footprint centers on fixed-route shuttle services, paratransit for elderly and disabled riders, and on-demand microtransit (Catch Connect) spanning Framingham, Natick, and surrounding municipalities including Ashland, Dover, Holliston, Hopedale, Hopkinton, Hudson, Marlborough, Milford, Sherborn, Southborough, Sudbury, Wayland, Wellesley, and Weston. Recent grant work exemplifies the scope: a $3.204 million FTA Federal Transit Formula Grant (CFDA 20.507) awarded April 29, 2026, funded compressed natural gas vehicle procurement, terminal intermodal enhancements at the Blandin Hub and Framingham Commuter Rail Station Hub, and call-center and IT technology upgrades; a $1.98 million formula grant from May 21, 2025, procured three Gillig CNG 30-passenger transit vehicles; and a $1.75 million grant from May 15, 2025, funded planning and design for expansion and upgrade of the Blandin Hub operations and maintenance facility. MWRTA also received a $985,000 project grant under the SMART Grants Program (CFDA 20.941) awarded August 1, 2023, to install solar power and battery banks and conduct feasibility studies for on-site renewable energy generation at its Framingham maintenance facility. A $443,886 formula grant from August 27, 2026, under the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526) funds replacement vehicle procurement through June 30, 2031.
The FTA accounts for 84% of awards (48 by count), with the Immediate Office of the Secretary of Transportation representing the remaining grantor agency. Performance in FY 2025 exceeded 522,000 passenger trips and 101,000 vehicle service hours against a $17.7 million operating budget. Four awards carrying combined obligation value carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. MWRTA also acts as a sub-recipient on eight grants from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, receiving funding for accessible vehicle procurement (totaling at least 18 vehicles across multiple sub-awards between 2022 and 2026), mobility management support for the Transitions and Outreach Program, and operating assistance for Catch Connect microtransit services.
