Grant FundingTransportationDetected Apr 28, 2026

The Ulster County Transportation Council adopted Resolution 2026-08 on April 28, 2026 to apportion Federal Fiscal Year 2025 FTA Section 5307/5340 formula funds attributable to the Kingston Urbanized Area. The resolution confirms that the County of Ulster, as the sole Designated Recipient for the area via Ulster County Area Transit, will receive 100% of the Kingston allocation, totaling 2,223,631, and authorizes the UCTC Administrative Committee to program these funds for eligible public transportation uses. This decision secures a substantial federal funding stream that Ulster County Area Transit can apply to capital projects, fleet replacement, facilities, technology systems, and operating assistance consistent with FTA rules.While specific procurements are not yet defined in this resolution, vendors providing transit vehicles, ITS/AVL, fare collection, planning and engineering services, and related transit infrastructure should track how UCTC and the County plan to program these dollars into discrete projects on the TIP and future RFPs.

Resolution authorizes the UCTC Administrative Committee to program the funds in coordination with Ulster County as the designated recipient; specific projects and procurements will be defined through subsequent planning and TIP programming.
