About the company
Lymo Waccamaw Regional Transit Authority, doing business as The Coast RTA, is a U.S. local government transit authority and federal grant recipient that operates fixed-route bus services, paratransit, and vanpool offerings across Horry and Georgetown counties in South Carolina's Grand Strand region. The organization is headquartered in Conway, South Carolina, and acts as a direct recipient (prime, 86% of awards) and sub-recipient of federal transit grants rather than a federal contractor; it does not hold federal contract vehicles or compete under contract set-asides.
The Coast RTA's entire federal award footprint is anchored to the Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration, which has issued 32 prime grants across 37 total awards (86% coverage by count). The authority received $91.9 million in combined obligations across all federal sources. Recent prime grant work centers on formula 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). Representative awards include a $5.668 million Federal Transit Formula Grant awarded July 31, 2026, funding operating assistance, preventive maintenance, and acquisition of non-revenue vehicles (administrative and shop vehicles) through March 30, 2033; a $5.038 million formula grant awarded December 29, 2025, supporting operating and preventive maintenance, bus stop amenity improvements with ADA accessibility updates, planning and environmental work for a new transit center in Georgetown County, and an integrated technology program for fare collection and passenger interface systems; a $5.16 million Buses and Bus Facilities grant awarded August 19, 2025, for continued development of a bus operating maintenance facility and the Myrtle Beach Transit Center, along with acquisition of four 40-foot transit buses; and a $4.752 million Buses and Bus Facilities grant awarded August 16, 2024, for acquisition of two replacement cutaway vehicles and one Ford Transit van, plus acquisition of 17.61 acres of right-of-way property on Grissom Parkway in Myrtle Beach for an administration, operations, and maintenance facility.
Activity has remained consistent at four awards per year in 2022–2024, declining to three in 2025 and one in 2026 year-to-date. The authority also acts as sub-recipient on five federal grant sub-awards (14% of total awards), including use of Section 5310 funds for vehicle replacement, Section 5311 funds for public transportation administration and operations, and American Rescue Plan Act operating assistance allocations. All work is performed in South Carolina.
