About the company
Southeast Area Transit District (SEAT), located in Preston, Connecticut, is a U.S. local government transit authority serving the Norwich/New London urbanized area. Registered in SAM.gov since 2010, SEAT operates as an inter-municipal transit system providing public transportation services to residents in New London County. The organization is primarily focused on delivering reliable, responsive, and safe transportation options, including fixed route, ADA paratransit, and microtransit services to local communities.
Through federal grant awards, specifically from the Federal Transit Administration's Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507), SEAT has consistently secured funding to support critical transportation infrastructure and operational needs. Recent grants totaling over $14.6 million have enabled the district to purchase replacement buses, microtransit expansion rolling stock, support equipment, and software. The grants have also covered operating expenses, preventative maintenance costs, and administrative activities. Notably, SEAT has utilized funding from various federal initiatives, including Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) and American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds, to maintain continuous transit services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their grant-funded projects have focused on procuring bus fare collection equipment, security cameras, communication radios, and support equipment to enhance fleet maintenance and operational efficiency. Each grant has been structured to support SEAT's core mission of providing safe, affordable, and reliable public transportation to citizens in the Norwich/New London urbanized area.
