About this program
The Downstate Reduced Fare Grant program is a competitive grant program providing fare-assistance and fare-replacement to eligible public transportation agencies. The purpose of the program is to make existing public transportation more affordable for eligible students while reimbursing transit providers for some or all of the resulting fare reduction. The program shall not replace or support general operating-assistance. Additionally, the program shall not replace ordinary school transportation provided by private school bus operators. Reduce Fare programs shall not operate exclusive school bus service in direct competition with private school bus operators (49 CFR Part 605).
Run federal grants too?
State grants are free to browse and are not part of member fit-scoring, alerts, or the Tuesday digest — those cover federal grants. Members get every federal grant that opens fit-scored to their organization (the home page defines exactly what the board covers) — with an alert when a real match posts.
