About Regional Transportation Auth
The Regional Transportation Authority (RTA), doing business as RTA, is a local government-owned transit authority serving the Middle Tennessee area, specifically the Nashville metropolitan region. Registered in SAM.gov since 2009, RTA provides critical public transportation services including commuter bus and rail services that connect Nashville with surrounding counties. As a U.S. local government entity, RTA primarily receives federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA), focusing on maintaining and improving regional transportation infrastructure.
RTA's federal grant awards have consistently focused on transit infrastructure rehabilitation, operational support, and capital improvements. The organization has received multiple Federal Transit Formula Grants (CFDA 20.507) and State of Good Repair Grants (CFDA 20.525) totaling approximately $31.6 million between 2021 and 2025. These grants have supported critical activities including track rehabilitation for the WeGo Star commuter rail line, bus fleet replacement, preventative maintenance, real-time interface upgrades, and operating assistance. Specific projects have included repairing rail corridors, purchasing new commuter buses, upgrading the Donelson Station transit center, and maintaining essential transportation services. The grants have been instrumental in helping RTA continue providing regional bus and rail services, improve transit amenities, and ensure transportation infrastructure remains in good condition for the Middle Tennessee area's commuters.
