About the company
Research Triangle Regional Public Transportation Authority (doing business as Gotriangle), a U.S. local government transit authority headquartered in Durham, North Carolina, is a recipient of Federal Transit Administration grants for capital fleet replacement, transit infrastructure improvements, and operating assistance across the Research Triangle region covering Wake, Durham, and Orange counties. Gotriangle operates as a prime grant recipient (99% of awards) with no federal contracts and no subcontractor role; the organization receives direct FTA funding under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) and the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526), alongside smaller research grants from the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Institutes of Health.
Gotriangle's federal grant footprint concentrates overwhelmingly on the Federal Transit Administration, which accounts for 45 of 78 total awards. Recent FTA work includes a $2.09 million August 2026 project grant to purchase two hybrid buses under CFDA 20.526 (performance through March 2034), a $500 thousand July 2026 formula grant for transit access improvements at the intersection of US 15-501 and Eastowne Drive in Chapel Hill, including engineering, design, and construction of two bus stops with pullouts (completion March 2032), and a $470,039 June 2026 formula grant combining FFY 2021 and FFY 2023 Section 5307 and 5339 funds to purchase up to four replacement buses and conduct preventative maintenance and bus-stop upgrades across the Raleigh and Durham urbanized areas (through March 2034). Gotriangle also received a $5.077 million August 2025 FTA formula grant for up to 7.5 replacement buses, design and construction services for 13 bus-stop improvements, and a $1.954 million September 2024 formula grant for three 40-foot replacement buses, four paratransit vehicles, and two support vehicles. Operating assistance awards fund driver payroll, fuel, and eligible expenses to sustain fixed-route service; the EPA and NIH provide smaller research funding, with EPA grants totaling $1.8 million across 15 awards for administrative and environmental research functions. Gotriangle engages one sub-recipient on a March 2024 CPT-HST plan amendment involving purchase of six replacement Light Transit Vehicles for the Raleigh urbanized area's elderly and disabled populations. Recent annual award volume runs one to three grants per year (2023–2026), with combined obligated dollars of $229.3 million against a combined potential value of $2.4 million across all 78 awards, reflecting the authority's long history of FTA capital and operating support since 1999.
