Milford Transit District

Milford Transit District is a local government municipality and transit authority located in Milford, Connecticut, registered in SAM.gov since 2011 and operating as a U.S. government entity. The organization provides public transportation services to the local community through fixed-route bus systems and paratransit services, serving transit-dependent populations in the Milford area. As a transit district, Milford Transit District focuses on maintaining a reliable and efficient public transportation network that supports the mobility needs of local residents.

Through federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration, Milford Transit District has consistently secured Formula and Project Grants under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) to support critical operational and infrastructure needs. These grants have enabled the district to purchase ADA-compliant paratransit and support vehicles, perform preventative maintenance on its transit fleet, and upgrade administrative and maintenance facilities. Recent grant awards totaling approximately $4.5 million between 2021 and 2025 have supported specific initiatives such as replacing aging vehicles, modernizing HVAC systems, repairing retaining walls, repaving parking lots, and covering essential operating expenses like driver salaries, fuel, and personal protective equipment. The grants have been particularly crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing the district to maintain safe and sanitized transportation services while supporting staff and infrastructure requirements. All federal grant awards have been direct prime awards with no subrecipient activities, demonstrating Milford Transit District's capability to manage federal funding independently.
