GrantMassachusetts FY27 Community Transit Grant Program — Operating & Mobility Management

Atlas Opportunity Score90/100

FundingCurrent FY27 public pages do not state a universal per-project award ceiling. State-funded operating and mobility-management projects require no local match; FTA Section 5310 operating projects require a 50% local match and FTA-funded mobility-management projects require a 20% local match.

DeadlineOctober 30, 2026. MassDOT's current FY27 application page does not publish an exact cutoff time or time-zone abbreviation; Atlas does not infer one.

Required next actionEligible Massachusetts transit authorities, municipalities, Councils on Aging, nonprofits, and private shared-ride transit operators should confirm the project addresses a need in the applicable Coordinated Human Service Transportation Plan, determine whether the project will use state or FTA Section 5310 funding and therefore whether match applies, obtain pre-application materials from MassDOT, prepare the project budget and supporting attachments, and submit through the online FY27 application form before October 30, 2026.
