About the company
Transit Joint Powers Authority For Merced is a U.S. local government transit authority based in Merced, California, that receives federal operating assistance and capital grants from the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration as a prime grant recipient. The authority does not compete for federal contracts and does not hold seats on contract vehicles; it operates exclusively as a recipient of FTA formula grants and project grants under CFDA 20.507 (Federal Transit Formula Grants) and CFDA 20.526 (Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs).
TJPA's federal grant footprint is concentrated entirely with the Federal Transit Administration, which accounts for 42 of 50 recorded awards spanning the past five years. The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration has issued 4 additional awards. TJPA acts as prime recipient on 42 awards (84% of the total) and appears as a sub-recipient on 8 awards, primarily routed through the California Department of Transportation as pass-through grantor. Recent examples of prime recipient work include an $8.1 million Federal Transit Formula Grant awarded August 28, 2026, for operating assistance and preventive maintenance of the Merced County Regional Transit System through October 30, 2027; an $8.19 million formula grant effective September 4, 2025, covering operational and administrative costs; and a $480,916 grant awarded August 8, 2025, under the Buses and Bus Facilities program to procure two new electric transit vehicles for micro-mobility expansion in Atwater, California. Capital grants also support fleet replacement: a $417,850 grant (March 18, 2025) and prior awards funded the purchase of 13 cutaway buses, 9 additional cutaway buses, 8 diesel transit buses, and five 40-foot zero-emission electric buses with associated charging infrastructure. As a sub-recipient, TJPA has received funding passed through the California Department of Transportation for operating assistance and public outreach and marketing activities across the Merced County region and the Yosemite Area Regional Transportation System.
The combined potential value across all 50 awards is $189.2 million. Five awards hold ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing the recompete cycle for FTA formula and project grants.
