About the company
Redding Area Bus Authority, doing business as Raba, is a U.S. local government transit authority headquartered in Redding, California, that receives federal operating and capital grants from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) as a direct recipient under the Federal Transit Formula Grants and Buses and Bus Facilities Formula programs (CFDA 20.507 and 20.526). Raba operates as a transit authority serving the urbanized areas of Anderson, Redding, Shasta Lake, and portions of rural Shasta County; it does not hold federal contracts as a prime contractor or compete under set-asides, and it receives no revenue from subcontracting on federal awards.
Raba's federal footprint is entirely grant-funded and narrowly concentrated with a single customer agency. The Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration accounts for 32 of 38 prime awards (84% of activity) over the past several years, with no other federal agencies represented. Recent prime grants include a $5.888 million Federal Transit Formula Grants award (CFDA 20.507) dated July 14, 2026, covering fifty percent of operating assistance for public transportation services for the period July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027; a $356,770 Buses and Bus Facilities Formula award (CFDA 20.526) dated August 11, 2026, for capital costs to purchase four hybrid buses and one support vehicle through September 30, 2028; and a $366,000 Buses and Bus Facilities Formula award dated July 22, 2025, for purchase of one replacement battery-electric transit van with completion scheduled for December 31, 2026. Raba also received a capital equipment grant dated July 22, 2024, for automated voice announcement systems and automatic passenger counter technology to improve transit operations. Prior awards funded operating assistance covering vehicle maintenance and administrative costs, and replacement of ADA-compliant vans. All grants flow directly to Raba as recipient; the vendor passes sub-awards to subordinate entities, with six sub-award pass-throughs occurring between July 2025 and December 2025 for operating assistance and capital projects funding.
Award volume has accelerated since 2024, growing from one award in 2023 to seven in 2025 and two through August 2026. Over the vendor's full award history tracked in the source (back to 2008), combined federal obligations total $92.3 million. Three awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete exposure as those grants cycle for renewal. Raba's work supports transit operations and fleet modernization serving low-income and transit-dependent populations in the Redding service area; no subrecipient activities are involved in any active award, and all capital and operating activities are performed in California.
