About the company
New River Transit Authority, a U.S. local government transit authority based in Beckley, West Virginia, receives Federal Transit Administration formula grants to provide and sustain public transportation services as a prime grant recipient. NRTA operates as a municipal transit entity serving Beckley, Sophia, Mt. Hope, Oak Hill, and Fayetteville in Raleigh and Fayette Counties, with no federal contract prime or subcontractor footprint.
NRTA's federal portfolio consists entirely of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Urbanized Area Formula Funding Program awards under CFDA 20.507. The most recent grant, obligated July 16, 2026, awarded $2,504,024 for operating assistance to maintain continuous transit operations through October 30, 2027. A prior award of $2,548,014 obligated September 23, 2025 funds operating assistance, rolling stock preventative maintenance, radio equipment acquisition, and hardware and software purchases through March 31, 2027. An August 18, 2025 award funds the purchase of three new six-passenger sport utility vehicles for demand-response service expansion (completion December 31, 2026). Additional awards from January 2024 and December 2022 cover capital assistance, preventative maintenance, and equipment acquisition. A multi-fiscal-year award from March 2022 obligated $1,803,766 (combining FFY 2017, 2018, and 2019 apportionments) for operating expenses, preventative maintenance, and purchase of five ADA-accessible cutaway buses. NRTA holds three sub-grant awards dated June 2024 and June 2025 for transportation services to seniors and individuals with disabilities. The Federal Transit Administration accounts for 87% of the award count (19 of 22 named awards), with a single Department of Justice award of negligible value to the Federal Correctional Institution Beckley.
NRTA's activity shows sporadic grant awards across recent years — one in 2021, two in 2022, four in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026 — with four awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The combined obligated value across all awards totals $20.5 million against a reported potential value of only $5 thousand, a variance reflecting the source's treatment of obligated grant dollars against nominal line-item potential values. NRTA receives no federal contracts, holds no seats on GWACs, BPAs, or IDIQs, and does not operate as a contractor or subcontractor. The organization's federal relationship is exclusively grant-recipient funding for operating assistance, capital maintenance, fleet expansion, and specialized transportation services for vulnerable populations within its West Virginia service territory.
