About the company
San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority, doing business as Slorta, is a U.S. local government transit authority receiving federal grants from the Federal Transit Administration to operate fixed-route and demand-response public transit services across San Luis Obispo County, California, and to fund capital projects for fleet modernization and infrastructure. The entity operates as a prime recipient under Federal Transit Administration (FTA) formula and project grant programs (CFDA 20.507 and 20.526), with no federal contract prime or sub footprint and minimal grant sub-recipient activity — Slorta serves as the grantor authority that suballocates funds to subordinate transit operators such as the City of Atascadero and Paso Robles for dial-a-ride services.
Slorta's grant portfolio centers on transit operating assistance and capital modernization. Recent awards include a $7,415,520 FTA Section 5307 Formula Grant (August 2025) covering operating assistance through June 2025 and capital projects through March 2029, with federal reimbursement capped at 50 percent of eligible operational expenses and 85 percent for zero-emission vehicle replacements and Americans with Disabilities Act projects; a $3,065,000 FTA Buses and Bus Facilities formula award (August 2026) to replace four aging diesel buses with electric buses and related charging infrastructure, with an 85 percent federal share for vehicle replacements; and a $2,682,825 FTA Section 5307 formula award (March 2025) for zero-emission bus replacement at 85 percent federal share. Slorta also manages operating-assistance awards under the American Rescue Plan Act (April 2022, $1,231,684 at 100 percent federal share) and operates multiple Section 5339 capital assistance grants for bus engine overhauls, vehicle replacements, and security system upgrades.
The Federal Transit Administration is Slorta's sole customer agency across 50 prime grants totaling $237.6 million in obligated dollars. Activity has fluctuated — six awards in 2022, two in 2023, three in 2024, five in 2025, and one in 2026 — with eleven awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Slorta performs all transit operations and capital projects through in-house staff; no subrecipients are involved in the prime grants, though Slorta itself functions as a suballocating entity for subordinate transit operators in Atascadero and Paso Robles under the same FTA program structure. The four grant sub-awards in the source are operating-assistance suballocations to transit partners, consistent with Slorta's role as the regional transit authority coordinating funding across multiple urbanized areas (UZAs 063130, 061960, and 064140) under direction of the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments serving as the Metropolitan Planning Organization.
