SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

49 U.S.C. 5334(h) provides guidance 

on the transfer of capital assets. 

Specifically, if a recipient of FTA 

assistance decides an asset acquired 

under this chapter at least in part with 

that assistance is no longer needed for 

the purpose for which it was acquired, 

the Secretary of Transportation may 

authorize the recipient to transfer the 

asset to a local governmental authority 

to be used for a public purpose with no 

further obligation to the Government. 49 

U.S.C. 5334(h)(1). 

Determinations 

The Secretary may authorize a 

transfer for a public purpose other than 

mass transportation only if the Secretary 

decides: 

(A) The asset will remain in public 

use for at least 5 years after the date the 

asset is transferred; 

(B) There is no purpose eligible for 

assistance under this chapter for which 

the asset should be used; 

(C) The overall benefit of allowing the 

transfer is greater than the interest of the 

Government in liquidation and return of 

the financial interest of the Government 

in the asset, after considering fair 

market value and other factors; and 

(D) Through an appropriate screening 

or survey process, that there is no 

interest in acquiring the asset for 

Government use if the asset is a facility 

or land. 

Federal Interest in Acquiring Land or 

Facility 

This document implements the 

requirements of 49 U.S.C. 5334(h)(1)(D)

Accordingly, FTA hereby provides 

notice of the availability of the facility 

further described below. Any Federal 

agency interested in acquiring the 

affected facility should promptly notify 

the FTA. If no Federal agency is 

interested in acquiring the existing 

facility, FTA will make certain that the 

other requirements specified in 49 

U.S.C. Section 5334(h)(1)(A) through (C) 

are met before permitting the asset to be 

transferred. 

Additional Description of Land or 

Facility 

The facility is a former bus operations 

and maintenance building situated on 

an approximately 41,245 square foot 

City-owned parcel, and is located at 315 

4th Street, NW., in Charlottesville, 

Virginia. The building is within an area 

zoned M1 for light industrial use. The 

immediate area consists of residential, 

commercial and light industrial 

properties. The facility was previously 

used for transit bus operations and 

maintenance. The facility is a flex-type 

building which includes a front office 

and/or administration section and a 

large attached multi-purpose shop or 

warehouse rear section, for a total 

building coverage of approximately 

8,000 square feet. The facility resides on 

a roughly triangular shaped parcel 

consisting of perimeter dimensions of 

134 feet on its east side, 514 feet on its 

south side, 0 feet on its west side and 

508 feet on its north side. The entire 

facility is contained within the fenced 

and secured City of Charlottesville 

Public Works Yard, and includes no 

street frontage. The north side of the 

facility is bounded by the Southern 

Railway embankment and it is slightly 

inclined and above-grade in relation to 

the adjoining Public Works Yard. The 

railway embankment to the north of the 

buildings is steep, wooded, and at an 

elevation approximately 40 feet higher 

relative to the paved areas. 

The building improvements consist of 

concrete foundations, basic concrete 

slab floors, enameled metal side walls, 

sloped metal roof with gutters and 

downspouts and various entry doors 

and glass windows. The front office 

section has dimensions of 20 feet wide 

and 100 feet long for a total enclosed 

ground floor area of 2,000 square feet. 

The interior includes work areas, four 

individual offices, a utility room, a 

break area, two lavatory and shower 

rooms, small closets and storage rooms. 

The rear building section has exterior 

dimensions of 60 feet wide by 100 feet 

long with ground floor coverage of 6,000 

square feet. The space is generally open, 

but includes a partitioned storage area 

of approximately 6,700 square feet of 

ground floor area with an additional 

mezzanine level of approximately 500 

square feet. The rear building section 

has a concrete slab floor, exposed metal 

sidewalls and six large metal vehicular 

size roll-up doors. Miscellaneous site 

improvements include approximately 

23,000 square feet of asphalt surfaced 

vehicular parking and maneuvering 

areas and assorted small unpaved areas. 

The general condition of the building 

appears in fair to good overall condition 

from an architectural and structural 

standpoint and is approximately 33 

years old.
