Greyhound Lines Inc. - Rural Feeder Service

Welcome to the
Greyhound Lines, Inc.

Rural Feeder Service Program

Greyhound has a strong interest in creating and maintaining successful interline relationships with coordinated rural feeder services that are meaningful for customers and make sense for both Greyhound and the rural feeder service partner. This is demonstrated by the company's efforts in:

Helping clarify and lower Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) insurance levels for rural transportation agencies

Creating a special National Bus Traffic Association (NBTA) "sponsored transit category" with minimal costs & hassles. NBTA is a non-profit revenue clearinghouse for interline bus operators.

Effectively working one-on-one with rural transportation agencies to help them establish feeder services.

FTA Circular 9040.1F (SAFTEA-LU) contains the Nonurbanized Area Formula Program Guidance and Grant Application Instructions for 5311 and 5311(f) funding. The relevant intercity bus program information is contained in Chapter VIII.
