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(MAP–21), funds are still available under this authority as a result of lapses in allocations or deobligations of funds originally made available prior to enactment of MAP–21.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
