Overview

Although NDOT is not a transit service provider, the agency plays an important role in funding and organizing transit services throughout the state. NDOT administers four Federal Transit Administration (FTA) programs for rural public transit funding assistance in Nevada. These include:

• 5304: State Planning and Research Program
• 5310: Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program
• 5311: Rural Area Program
• 5339: Bus and Bus Facilities Program

Additional information about each of these programs, including how to apply for funding, can be found in the left navigation page, or by clicking on the links above. Note: funding program details are subject to change.

The agency also has a dedicated transit team who focuses on the administration of federal transit grants and regularly coordinates with the state’s transit providers. The transit team can be reached at: transitteam@dot.nv.gov
