 Sign up for e-mail updates for Private Enterprise Participation
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) recognizes the indispensable role of private enterprise in meeting the transportation needs of the public. Private sector operators are important for the delivery of transportation services in every community, in their role as either direct providers of services they choose to offer the public, or as contractors who deliver public transportation or specialized transportation services. Along with experience and knowledge, the private sector brings additional resources, flexibility, and competition to the transit community. The interconnected nature of America’s transportation network demands that public transportation providers work with the private transportation industry to maintain the vitality and effectiveness of every component.
To achieve the community benefits that private sector transportation providers offer, they must participate fully in federally-funded public transportation programs, from the early planning stages through the implementation of service. The information on these pages is intended to assist both public sector and private sector parties in learning more about opportunities for private enterprise participation in the delivery of public transportation services.
