About Public Transit grants
Public transit grants support infrastructure development, modernization, and operational improvements for transportation systems nationwide. With 96 active grants listed in this category, funding agencies like the DOT Federal Transit Administration and Federal Railroad Administration prioritize projects that enhance mobility and connectivity across urban and rural communities.
Most public transit grants range from $1.0M to $112.5M and operate through competitive application processes. State governments, city governments, and public authorities are typical recipients, with funding commonly directed toward capital projects, pilot programs, and planning initiatives serving low-income and urban communities. All grants require cost-sharing, so filtering by recipient type and support category helps identify the best opportunities.
