Old Dominion Transit Management Co

Old Dominion Transit Management Co, doing business as Grtc Transit Systems, is a local government transit authority based in Richmond, Virginia, that operates public transportation services as the prime recipient of federal grants from the Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA), with 98% of recent awards as recipient (rather than sub-recipient) for paratransit vehicle procurement, fleet modernization, and capital facility improvements.

Grtc Transit Systems is structured as a U.S. local government entity and transit authority with no participation in federal contracts as a prime awardee or on government-wide contract vehicles. The vendor's federal footprint consists entirely of FTA grant awards under formula and project grant programs (CFDA 20.507, 20.526, 20.534) supporting the Richmond metropolitan area's public transit infrastructure and operations serving Richmond, Petersburg, Chesterfield, and Henrico counties in Virginia. The recipient's recent award portfolio spans paratransit vehicle replacement and purchase (including articulated buses, fixed-route buses, and non-fixed-route vehicles), preventive maintenance and facility rehabilitation, transfer center relocation and site improvements, security and software systems, bus shelters and station amenities, and operational expenses during COVID-19 response periods.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular. The Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration accounts for 74 awards (56% of the award count by the top-customer metric) across the full award history. Beyond FTA, secondary customers by potential value include the Department of Transportation Immediate Office of the Secretary Transportation ($2.5 million across 12 awards), the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 ($332 thousand across 11 awards), and the Department of Housing and Urban Development ($58 thousand across 5 awards), together representing 19% of awards and nearly all non-FTA potential value.

Recent activity has flattened after a modest uptick: three awards in 2022, five in 2023, and six in 2024, followed by one award in 2025 and one in 2026. Seven awards are reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor carries two parent indefinite delivery contracts under the Department of Transportation (DTOS5909D00460 with 8 task orders, $1.2 million combined potential value, and DTOS5914D00502 with 3 task orders, $339 thousand), though the bulk of the award portfolio consists of formula and project grants issued directly by FTA rather than task orders under standing vehicles.

Concrete recent examples include a $15.847 million Federal Transit Formula Grant (CFDA 20.507) awarded August 28, 2026, for paratransit capital purchases, preventive maintenance, and support equipment through June 30, 2028; a $4.793 million Buses and Bus Facilities Formula Grant (CFDA 20.526) awarded March 10, 2025, for replacement paratransit vehicle purchase through March 31, 2027; a $16.987 million Federal Transit Formula Grant awarded August 15, 2024, for security equipment, shop equipment, preventive maintenance, and facility rehabilitation through September 30, 2026; and a $29.2 million Federal Transit Formula Grant (CFDA 20.507) awarded April 28, 2022, for operating costs including salaries, cleaning, and personal protective equipment under the American Rescue Plan Act through March 31, 2027. The vendor acts as prime recipient on all grants with no sub-recipients identified; two sub-grant awards from FTA's Section 5310 program for operating and mobility management have been passed through to other recipients.
