Eligible companies included motorcoach companies, school bus companies, passenger vessel companies, and pilotage companies. The CERTS program assisted over 1,400 eligible transportation service providers, which used more than 81% of grant funds on payroll costs. Over 90% of grants were awarded to small businesses, many of whom were left out of the larger pandemic relief programs for other transportation sectors.

Nearly a quarter of the grantees were women-owned businesses, one-third were minority-owned businesses, and 7% were veteran-owned businesses. As of May 16, 2022, all grant amounts under the CERTS program have been fully disbursed. The CERTS Program is now closed, the Covered Period has ended.

All unexpended funds must be returned to Treasury. If a Grantee has correctly completed its final reporting requirements in accordance with the terms and conditions of its Grant Agreement, **no further action is needed**, unless notified otherwise by Treasury. For more details refer to the Closeout Checklist below.
