Fort Worth’s ‘T’ Receives FTA Award

And the winner is … the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The T), which received an Award of Excellence on March 16 as Transit System of the Year from Robert Patrick, Region VI administrator for the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).  Presented for “outstanding operations,” The T achieved a perfect score on its 2010 FTA Triennial Review for a large transport provider.

The rigorous review, similar to an audit, assesses an agency’s compliance with FTA federal requirements for grants practices and programs over a three-year period. The T achieved zero findings—a rare accomplishment, said Patrick.

When accepting the award, The T Board Chair Gary Cumbie said: “The T is committed to continuing its outstanding performance record and partnership with FTA, as it seeks to expand and enhance its public transportation system, and provide more passenger rail and advanced bus systems to support the rapid population growth and expanding mobility needs of Tarrant County and the north Texas region.”
