Federal Transit Administration

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is a U.S. government agency that provides funding and support for public transit systems, such as buses, subways, and commuter trains. Its primary goal is to ensure safe, efficient, and accessible transportation options for communities across the country. By offering financial assistance, technical guidance, and policy development, the FTA helps cities and regions improve and expand their transit services, promoting economic growth, reducing traffic congestion, and enhancing environmental sustainability.
