Description
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Grants Administration and Procurement program provides a centralized resource for Florida’s transit agencies and local governments to access, manage, and comply with both state and federal transit funding opportunities. The program encompasses a suite of state-funded initiatives (such as the Public Transit Block Grant, Service Development, Transit Corridor, and Park and Ride programs) and serves as the state pass-through for major federal transit funding streams (including FTA Sections 5303, 5307, 5310, 5311, and 5339). FDOT offers planning, procurement, and technical assistance to help applicants navigate regulatory requirements, Title VI compliance, and project implementation.
