About the company
Rock Island County Metropolitan Mass Transit District (doing business as Metrolink) is a U.S. local government transit authority based in Moline, Illinois that receives federal capital and operating grants from the Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration as a prime recipient (96% of awards), with no federal contracting footprint and minimal sub-recipient activity on grant programs.
Metrolink operates ferryboat, bus, and paratransit services across the bi-state Quad Cities region serving Illinois and Iowa, including the cities of Davenport, Bettendorf, and East Moline. The recipient's federal grant portfolio centers on transit asset management, low-emission vehicle infrastructure, and capital projects that maintain the system in a state of good repair while enhancing safety and passenger experience. Recent representative grants include a $6 million FTA Passenger Ferry Grant Program (CFDA 20.532) awarded August 21, 2026 to design, engineer, and procure a hybrid expansion ferry vessel and associated Mississippi riverfront charging infrastructure with performance through December 31, 2031; a $10 million Buses and Bus Facilities Formula Program (CFDA 20.526) grant from July 21, 2026 for electric vehicle depot expansion and fire hazard mitigation, including $500 thousand in workforce development for maintenance technicians and first responders, completing December 30, 2027; and an $824,750 State of Good Repair Grants Program (CFDA 20.525) award from August 13, 2026 covering dock replacement pricing overages, ferryboat and trailer maintenance, and asset rehabilitation through May 31, 2032.
Metrolink's customer concentration is absolute: the Federal Transit Administration accounts for 71 of 75 awards (96% coverage) and the Federal Highway Administration for 1 award. Combined federal dollars obligated across all sources total $159.1 million. The grant portfolio spans fifteen years of activity, with recent awards trending upward—eight awards obligated in 2025 and three in 2026 (through August)—but only two awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete pressure. All awards are granted directly to Metrolink as a single-entity prime recipient; no significant sub-recipient pass-through work appears in the source data. Grant programs active in the portfolio include the Urbanized Area Formula Funding Program (CFDA 20.507), the Buses and Bus Facilities Programs (CFDA 20.526), the State of Good Repair Grants Program (CFDA 20.525), the Passenger Ferry Grant Program (CFDA 20.532), the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), and Community Project Funding Congressionally Directed Spending (CFDA 20.534). All funding flows from FTA, which provides formula, project, and competitive grants for capital infrastructure supporting local and regional transit operations.
