The Details
What you need
Under Section 1596-2406 of the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Act, MassDOT has up to $10 million to award grants to Regional Transit Authorities (RTAs) for the creation or altering of routes that advance connectivity between existing public transportation routes including, but not limited to, RTA routes and MBTA routes. Awards will be made on a competitive basis with funding provided contractually.
Eligible Projects: Funding will be provided for operating projects that address the following criteria:
- opportunities for increased ridership
- opportunities for increased total mileage covered in a single trip (i.e., coverage)
- opportunities to reach low-income individuals
Application Limits: RTAs may submit as many applications as they choose. Joint applications are encouraged. Joint applications of multiple RTAs seeking to connect their services, facilitate transfers, or provide coverage for areas between their service areas will receive bonus points.
