Federal Transit Administration (FTA)

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is one of 11 operating administrations within the U.S. Department of Transportation with over 500 employees located in Washington, DC and 10 regional offices across the nation. The FTA works with public transportation providers and other key stakeholders to implement strategies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. In addition to FTA’s grant programs, FTA’s technical assistance is another key part of the agency’s efforts to respond to climate change. This technical assistance gives local communities the tools they need to improve planning practices, engage stakeholders, and build transit-oriented development. The FTA is also developing research on adapting transit infrastructure and operations to the impacts of climate change.
