The Federal Transit Administration (FTA)

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is a U.S. government agency under the Department of Transportation that oversees and supports public transportation systems across the country. Its primary role is to provide funding, guidance, and technical assistance to help cities and states improve and expand their transit services, including buses, subways, and light rail. The FTA aims to enhance mobility, promote sustainable transportation options, and ensure that public transit is accessible and efficient for all users. By investing in transit, the agency helps reduce traffic, environmental impact, and improves the quality of life in communities.
