I. FTA Discretionary Program Overview 

A. Authority 

Bus and Bus Facilities Program 

Section 5309(b) of Title 49, United 

States Code, as amended by Section 

3011 of SAFETEA–LU, authorized 

FTA’s Bus and Bus Facilities program as 

follows: ‘‘The Secretary may make 

grants under this section to assist State 

and local governmental authorities in 

financing . . . capital projects to 

replace, rehabilitate, and purchase buses 

and related equipment and to construct 

bus-related facilities, including 

programs of bus and bus-related projects 

for assistance to subrecipients that are 

public agencies, private companies 

engaged in public transportation, or 

private non-profit organizations.’’ 

While this program was not continued 

under the Moving Ahead for Progress in 

the 21st Century Act (MAP–21), funds 

are still available under this authority as 

a result of lapses in allocations or 

deobligations of funds originally made 

available prior to enactment of MAP–21. 

B. Policy Priorities 

Public transportation supports the 

development of communities, providing 

effective and reliable transportation 

options that increase access to jobs, 

recreation, health and social services, 

entertainment, educational 

opportunities, and other activities of 

daily life, while also improving mobility 

within and among these communities. 

Through various initiatives and 

legislative changes over the last fifteen 

years, FTA has allowed and encouraged 

projects that help integrate transit into 

a community through neighborhood 

improvements and enhancements to 

transportation facilities or services; 

make improvements to areas adjacent to 

public transit facilities that may 

facilitate mobility needs of transit users; 

or support other infrastructure 

investments that enhance the use of 

transit and other transportation options 

for the community. 

This funding opportunity is a Ladders 

of Opportunity Initiative, which is 

designed to invest in projects that 

improve the mobility of Americans with 

transportation disadvantages and allow 

them a better chance of climbing 

Ladders of Opportunity towards 

economic self-determination. It focuses 

on serving groups for whom finding and 

maintaining stable, uplifting 

employment has long been an 

intransigent problem. The Ladders of 

Opportunity Initiative will invest in 

projects that fulfill the following 

principles: 

1. Enhance Access to Work 

Improve access for Americans with 

transportation disadvantages through 

reliable and timely access to 

employment centers, educational and 

training opportunities, services and 

other basic needs of workers. 

2. Provide More Transportation Choices 

Develop safe, reliable, and economical 

transportation choices to decrease 

household transportation costs, reduce 

our nation’s dependence on foreign oil, 

improve air quality, reduce greenhouse 

gas emissions and promote public 

health. 

3. Support Existing Communities 

Target Federal funding toward 

existing communities to increase 

community revitalization, improve the 

efficiency of public works investments, 

and safeguard rural communities. 

4. Support Economic Opportunities 

Improve economic opportunities by 

linking capital investments with local 

workforce development. 

5. Support Partnerships 

The forming of strong federal and 

local partnerships to address the 

mobility challenge. This includes 

bringing local workforce development, 

training, education, veterans, 

transportation and planning
