About the company
Southwest Area Regional Transit District, a local government transit authority headquartered in Uvalde, Texas, operates as a prime recipient of Federal Transit Administration formula and discretionary grants, with one recent prime award and a substantial portfolio of sub-recipient awards through the Texas Department of Transportation. The organization does not hold federal contracts and does not compete under SBA set-asides.
SWART's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated in rural public transportation operations and capital asset management across eight Southwest Texas counties (Dimmit, Edwards, Kinney, La Salle, Maverick, Real, Uvalde, and Zavala). The organization is the recipient of a $2,546,891 Federal Transit Formula Grant (CFDA 20.507) awarded by the Federal Transit Administration on June 26, 2026, with completion scheduled for September 30, 2028. This formula grant funds operating assistance for ADA complementary paratransit services and fixed-route transit, covering personnel costs (driver, dispatcher, mechanic, administrative, and management salaries), fringe benefits, and vehicle operations and maintenance activities including preventive maintenance, repairs, routine servicing, fuel, lubricants, shop supplies, and maintenance tools necessary for fleet safety and compliance with federal and state standards.
The organization acts as a sub-recipient on 24 awards flowing through TxDOT's Public Transportation Division, representing 96 percent of its recent federal activity. These sub-recipient awards, dated between December 2023 and August 2025, fund vehicle replacement (multiple rural transit vehicles and 5310 service vehicles), transit facility improvements (signage, on-board security camera upgrades), driver and staff training (Easter Seals Travel Training and Mobility Management certification, defensive driving, CPR), regional planning and coordination (5-year comprehensive Regional Public Transportation Coordination Plan preparation, stakeholder coordination meetings), microtransit strategy development for Uvalde, Eagle Pass, and the Crystal City/Carrizo Springs area, vehicle maintenance equipment and tools, and a web-based business analytics and data management system consolidating data from transit scheduling, fare card, mobility management, maintenance, payroll, and accounting systems. Recent activity shows growth from one award in 2023 to thirteen in 2024, then ten in 2025, with all work performed within the eight-county rural service area. The organization faces no recompete exposure in the near term; all awards flow through established state administrative channels rather than competitive federal procurements.
