About the company
Western Contra Costa Transit, operating as West Cat, is a U.S. government entity and transit authority that serves as a prime recipient of federal transit capital and operating grants from the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507). West Cat does not hold federal contracts, IDVs, or BPAs; it operates exclusively as a direct grant recipient delivering public transit services to Western Contra Costa County, California.
West Cat operates fixed-route and paratransit services across Western Contra Costa County, encompassing portions of Contra Costa and Alameda Counties and San Francisco. The vendor's federal footprint consists entirely of Section 5307 formula grants apportioned to the San Francisco-Oakland urbanized area, which fund capital vehicle procurement, ADA paratransit operating subsidies, and preventative maintenance. The most recent awards include a $1.658 million grant awarded August 19, 2026, to procure two 45-foot diesel over-the-road coaches replacing revenue vehicles that have exceeded their useful life (performance through May 31, 2029), and a $481,145 award dated July 31, 2026, covering ADA paratransit operating expenses through June 30, 2028. Prior awards spanning 2022 through 2025 total roughly $3.7 million and address recurring ADA paratransit operating subsidy needs in the $366,000 to $391,000 annual range, plus a $2.231 million FY 2021–2022 capital award (completed September 2, 2025) that funded four bus retirements and procurement of two double-decker replacement buses.
West Cat's customer concentration is absolute: all 36 awards in the source data originate from a single funding agency, the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration, over a span dating to 1999. Combined dollars obligated across the award portfolio total $59.7 million. Activity is infrequent — one to two awards per year over the past five years — reflecting the formula-grant cadence of Section 5307 allocations. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window. West Cat carries no sub-recipients on its grants; it is the final recipient and implementing agency for all federal transit assistance.
