About Western Contra Costa Transit
Western Contra Costa Transit, doing business as West Cat, is a U.S. local government transit authority located in Pinole, California, serving Contra Costa and Alameda Counties as well as San Francisco. Registered in SAM.gov since October 2009, the agency is a DOT Certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and an inter-municipal transit authority that provides critical public transportation services. West Cat specializes in delivering essential transit infrastructure, including fixed-route bus services, commuter bus transportation, and mandated Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) paratransit services to local residents in its comprehensive service area.
The agency has consistently secured federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration, primarily through the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507). These grants have enabled West Cat to perform multiple critical transportation functions, including purchasing replacement transit vehicles, acquiring technology like automatic vehicle locators (AVL), and providing operating assistance for both standard and paratransit services. Notably, the agency has received substantial COVID-19 related funding through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA), which supported continued transit operations during the pandemic. Recent grant awards ranging from $371,719 to $2.9 million have focused on maintaining ADA paratransit services, replacing aging transit vehicles, and ensuring uninterrupted public transportation for residents across its service region. The grants have consistently been 100% federally funded with no local matching requirements, particularly during the pandemic response period.
