Grant FundingTransportationDetected Jun 16, 2026

The agenda lists Resolution 2026-03, an MnDOT authorizing resolution for Calendar Year 2027 fixed route service. This shows the Commission is entering the funding and planning phase with MnDOT for its 2027 fixed route bus operations. This funding authorization will underpin service levels, routes, and operational support needs for 2027, which may drive procurements for fleet, ITS systems, passenger information, fare systems, and operations support.Vendors who assist with transit planning, technology, and fleet support can position offerings as the agency designs 2027 service and aligns it to MnDOT grant conditions.

This is an early-stage grant authorization step; specific procurements tied to 2027 fixed route service are not yet detailed.

Grant Funding

The document sets the City of Cheyenne Transit Program's FY 2027 Wyoming Rural Public Transit Program subrecipient agreement with WYDOT. The state award was $302,862 for the Rural Public Transit Program under Project No. FT27141, with performance from October 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027 and a budget period through September 30, 2027. This is a grant-funded transit operations agreement, so the award itself was decided, but it creates a funded vehicle for third-party transit purchases and subcontracts that must comply with FTA, Buy America, DBE, and telecommunications restrictions.

Budget Planning

School Bus Fleet Renewal carries a $250,173 state allocation for FY 2027. The slide says the district receives funding for 33 buses, is purchasing 1 bus by November 1, and will need to purchase 6 more by November 1, 2027, while also paying principal and interest on 2 bus loans. That makes this a concrete fleet replacement pipeline with near-term and follow-on bus purchasing ahead.

The September 14, 2026 report shows no spending yet, which suggests a planned purchase window remains ahead.
