FTA Announces Funding for Public Transportation Supporting 2026 FIFA World Cup

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) today announced it is investing approximately $100.3 million to public transportation supporting the 2026 FIFA World Cup, ensuring local transit systems can supplement service and meet increased demands. These funds were made available through the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, passed by Congress and signed by President Trump. Planning, capital and operating expenses are eligible for the funding which is apportioned by a formula accounting for stadium capacity and number of matches in each host city. The Federal share for these funds is up to 100 percent and no local match is required. Transit agencies supporting World Cup events must obligate these funds within one fiscal year of the closing of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. FTA will host a webinar on Wednesday, March 11, at 2 PM ET to discuss the requirements for funding, eligibility and criteria, and the submission process.

FTA Announces New Round of Available Funding for Transit Station Accessibility

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) today announced the availability of $686 million in federal funding to make it easier for people with disabilities and mobility needs to access some of the nation's oldest and busiest rail transit systems through essential upgrades, such as elevators. Hundreds of transit stations built before 1990, known as legacy stations, are not accessible to people with disabilities. The All Stations Accessibility Program (ASAP) ensures that those relying on rail systems can get to essential destinations like work and school with more options for accessible public transportation. Instructions for applying and eligibility information can be found on FTA’s Website and in GRANTS.GOV (FTA-2026-001-TPM-ASAP). Complete proposals must be submitted electronically through the GRANTS.GOV “APPLY” function by May 1, 2026. Links : All Stations Accessibility Program Notice of Funding Opportunity Press Release
