This program provides funding to the state to replace, rehabilitate and purchase buses and related equipment and to construct bus-related facilities in rural areas and small urbanized areas. CDOT uses a competitive process to distribute the funds.
High quality and affordable public transit benefits low income households and disadvantaged communities by improving access to health care, recreation, healthy foods, and jobs. FY22 and FY23 funds were awarded for bus replacements and fleet expansions for transit organizations that provide service to several disproportionately impacted communities, including the Towns of Durango, Craig, Hayden, Leadville, Fraser, Granby, Montrose, and Nucla; as well as communities in Prowers County and Teller County.
