About the company
Southeastern Regional Transit Authority, doing business as Serta, is a U.S. local government transit authority headquartered in New Bedford, Massachusetts, that receives federal operating and capital grants from the Federal Transit Administration (CFDA 20.507) as the prime recipient — the entirety of its federal footprint consists of FTA awards with no federal contract work.
Serta operates fixed-route and demand-response/Americans with Disabilities Act paratransit services across a ten-municipality service area in southeastern Massachusetts, including New Bedford, Fall River, Dartmouth, Acushnet, Fairhaven, Freetown, Mattapoisett, Somerset, Swansea, and Westport. The agency maintains 24 fixed routes and paratransit operations funded through a combination of operating assistance grants and capital project grants. Recent operating grants include a $22.1 million Formula Grant (CFDA 20.507) awarded April 17, 2026, covering the period through March 31, 2028 for fixed-route and paratransit service maintenance, and a $19.9 million Formula Grant from September 2024 covering fiscal year 2025 operations. Capital work centers on fleet modernization and infrastructure improvements: a $1.030 million award (obligated January 28, 2026) funds 80/20 cost-share capital projects including transit asset maintenance, automated data processing and intelligent transportation systems hardware and software, bus support equipment engineering design, facility rehabilitation, and short-range transit planning through December 2026. Serta has received multiple project grants for hybrid electric bus acquisitions, including 16 buses under a Section 5339 Low-No award (awarded December 12, 2024) and 18 buses under an earlier FY22 5339 Low-No award (July 24, 2023). A December 30, 2024 award of $400,000 in FHWA flexed funds supports replacement of approximately 740 bus stop signs with real-time information capability through June 2027.
Serta's customer concentration is absolute — the Federal Transit Administration accounts for all 63 prime awards (95% of the portfolio). Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $416 million. Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years, with 4 awards in 2022, 5 in 2023, 5 in 2024, and 2 each in 2025 and early 2026. Five awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Serta acts as sub-recipient on three grant sub-awards involving accessible vehicle procurement, most recently a November 12, 2025 sub-award for four accessible vehicles. No subrecipient pass-through activities are documented across Serta's prime awards.
