One of FTA’s three ferry programs, the Passenger Ferry Grant program provides competitive funding for projects that support passenger ferry systems in urbanized areas. These funds constitute a core investment in the enhancement and revitalization of public ferry systems in the nation’s urbanized areas.
Funds are awarded based on factors such as the age and condition of existing ferry boats, terminals and related infrastructure; benefits to riders, such as increased reliability; project readiness; and connectivity to other modes of transportation.
Funding is made available to designated recipients and eligible direct recipients of Section 5307 funds, States and federally recognized Tribes that operate a public ferry system in an urbanized area. Eligible activities are capital projects to purchase, replace, or rehabilitate passenger ferries, terminals, and related facilities and equipment. Funds may not be used for operating expenses, planning, or preventive maintenance.
The federal share is not to exceed 80 percent of the net project cost for capital expenditures. However, the Federal share of the cost of leasing or purchasing a ferry that is compliant with the Clean Air Act (CAA) or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is not to exceed 85 percent of the total ferry cost.
The federal share in the cost of leasing or acquiring compliant ferry-related equipment and facilities is 90 percent of the net project cost. Applicants must identify these specific activities in their application in order to receive this increased federal share.

The FY2026 Bus Safety, Accessibility, and Innovation Research Program closes September 28. Universities, agencies, and startups are all eligible to lead — but every team must include a transit vehicle manufacturer in a prominent role, and FTA already cancelled a nearly identical NOFO in 2024 without making a single award.
Read articleThe Federal Transit Administration issued its FY2026 notice of funding opportunity for the Buses and Bus Facilities and Low or No Emission programs: $21 million and $589 million respectively, due September 21, 2026 through Grants.gov. Two things changed that reshape who wins — the total is down roughly 70 percent from FY2025, and FTA states it intends to prioritize low-emission projects over zero-emission projects to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Read articleThe FY2026 TOD Planning Pilot is back at its historical funding level after a chaotic 2024 cycle, but the requirement that applicants be existing FTA grantees as of May 11 quietly excludes most cities now seeking transit funding for the first time.
