About the company
Monterey-Salinas Transit District, a U.S. local government transit authority headquartered in Monterey, California, receives federal transit operating grants, capital grants, and innovation grants from the Federal Transit Administration as a prime recipient, with ancillary contract work providing transit services and bus passes to Naval Education and Training Command. MST does not compete as a prime contractor on full-and-open or set-aside contract vehicles and operates as a grant recipient across four distinct federal customer agencies, with the Federal Transit Administration representing 79% of recent award count and the Naval Education and Training Command anchoring dollar value through bus-pass procurement.
MST's federal footprint centers on fixed-route transit operations and capital infrastructure across a 295-square-mile service area spanning Monterey County and portions of Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, and San Luis Obispo counties. Recent prime grant work includes a $98.4 million Federal Transit Capital Investment Grant (CFDA 20.500) awarded January 2025 for the SURF! Busway and Bus Rapid Transit project, constructing 6.2 miles of exclusive bus-only alignment and 29 stations across a 19.5-mile corridor; a $41.2 million Federal Transit Formula Grant (CFDA 20.507) awarded April 2026 for fixed-route operations through June 2026; a $17.5 million Federal Transit Formula Grant (CFDA 20.507) awarded May 2025 for SURF! BRT traffic signal priority and busway construction; and a $568.553 thousand Public Transportation Innovation cooperative agreement (CFDA 20.530) awarded January 2026 to pilot open-loop bank card payments with automatic student fare discount eligibility verification at Rancho Cielo high school in Salinas through March 2028. Capital awards also include a $4.7 million Buses and Bus Facilities Formula Grant (CFDA 20.526) awarded November 2025 for replacement non-revenue vehicles, passenger facility repairs, and traveler information system deployment, and a $3.75 million Project Grant under Community Project Funding (CFDA 20.534) awarded July 2023 for fleet procurement and carbon-neutral resiliency infrastructure pre-construction at MST's main operations and maintenance facility in Monterey.
Federal Transit Administration grants account for 79 of 77 total recent awards and represent the dominant customer. A single Navy contract supplies bus passes to international students at Naval Postgraduate School for $40.5 thousand (BPA Call, May 2024, running through June 2025, potential value $350 thousand). Sub-award activity includes paratransit service delivery through Transdev Transportation under the ADA MST RIDES program and multiple operating-assistance flow-through awards to subordinate recipients. Awards completing within the next twenty-four months number four, representing modest recompete exposure. MST's fleet comprises over 100 fixed-route buses (35-foot and 40-foot coaches, 28-foot trolley-style buses, 23-foot medium buses) and four battery-electric buses, operated across fixed-route, demand-response, and seasonal service lines.
