Susquehanna Regional Transportation Authority

Susquehanna Regional Transportation Authority, doing business as Rabbit Transit, is a local government-owned transit authority headquartered in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, serving multiple counties in central Pennsylvania, including York, Hanover, Harrisburg, Cumberland, and Dauphin. The organization provides comprehensive public transportation services through fixed-route and shared-ride transit options, operating under divisions such as Capital Area Transit (CAT) and Central Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (CPTA). As a registered government entity in SAM.gov, Rabbit Transit focuses on delivering essential transportation infrastructure and mobility solutions to residents across its service regions.

Through federal grant awards, predominantly from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Rabbit Transit has consistently secured formula and project grants to support its operations and infrastructure improvements. The organization's grant activities have included purchasing replacement buses (both diesel and compressed natural gas vehicles), upgrading fare collection systems, funding operating expenses, and supporting facility improvements. Specific grant-funded projects have involved acquiring multiple buses to maintain fleet reliability, modernizing fare media and collection technologies, and securing capital funding for vehicle replacements that reduce emissions and improve accessibility. The majority of grants have been Formula Grants under CFDA codes 20.507 and 20.526, with award amounts ranging from approximately $450,000 to over $27 million. Sub-grant partnerships with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation have also been instrumental, providing additional funding through various federal transit program allocations including Section 5310, 5311, and state-specific transit funding mechanisms.
