About the company
Mississippi Coast Transportation Authority, doing business as Coast Transit Authority, is a U.S. local government transit authority headquartered in Gulfport, Mississippi, that receives federal transit formula grants and project grants from the Federal Transit Administration rather than competing as a federal contractor. CTA operates as a prime recipient across fixed-route bus services, demand response transportation for seniors and persons with disabilities, and related transit infrastructure in Harrison, Hancock, and Jackson Counties in the Gulf Coast region.
CTA's federal footprint consists entirely of FTA grant awards under CFDA programs 20.507 (Federal Transit Formula Grants), 20.513 (Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities), and 20.526 (Buses and Bus Facilities). Recent grant activity includes a $7.15 million Federal Transit Formula Grant awarded June 10, 2026, funding operating and capital assistance through calendar 2026 with ultimate completion in March 2032; a $2.2 million Project Grant under the Low or No Emissions program awarded March 27, 2025, for purchase of seven demand response and two fixed-route replacement buses with dual-fuel gasoline/propane technology; an $801,935 formula grant under Section 5339 bus funding awarded August 22, 2025, for replacement of four buses, one sedan, and one van with low-emission propane vehicles; and a $476,075 Enhanced Mobility grant awarded April 17, 2026, supporting in-house preventive maintenance and demand response services for seniors and disabled residents. Earlier awards fund transit tram bridge infrastructure, electric bus procurement, operating cost reimbursement, and specialized paratransit maintenance across the Gulfport and Pascagoula urbanized areas.
The Federal Transit Administration accounts for 45 of 46 distinct customer awards (82% coverage by count), with one subsidiary award from the Federal Highway Administration. Combined dollars obligated across all 56 awards total $160.8 million against a combined potential value of only $16 thousand—a data artifact reflecting the source's treatment of FTA grants. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. CTA acts as prime recipient on 55 of 56 awards (98%) and serves as sub-recipient on one signal-priority safety project awarded through the Mississippi Department of Transportation. No federal contract vehicles, prime contract awards, or competitive contract work appear in the source; CTA's federal engagement is limited to direct FTA grant programs supporting regional public transit operations without subrecipient pass-through or contractor teaming relationships.
