About this grant
The Rural Public Transportation grants program, funded through FTA Section 5311, helps people in rural areas access health care, shopping, education, employment and recreation. Funds may be used for capital, planning, operating and administrative costs, with federal funding ratios of up to 80 percent (90 percent for ADA and Clean Air projects) and 50 percent for net operating costs. Eligible recipients apply through TxDOT's electronic grants management system (IGX).

Private for-profit transit operators may participate through contracts with eligible recipients; to receive formula funds a company must be a rural transit district (a political subdivision containing multiple counties providing rural public transportation).
