DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Office of the Secretary 

Urban Partnership-Related Federal 

Register Notices 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of 

Transportation (‘‘OST’’), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of list of urban 

partnership-related Federal Register 

notices. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Transportation (the ‘‘Department’’) is 

pleased to provide you the following list 

of solicitations issued by the 

Department in connection with its 

Urban Partnership Program announced 

in December 2006. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Please address questions regarding this 

notice to David B. Horner, Esq., Chief 

Counsel, Federal Transit 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Transportation by e-mail at 

David.Horner@dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

following is a list of solicitations issued 

by the Department in connection with 

its Urban Partnership Program 

announced in December 2006. 

The Urban Partnership Program 

reflects the Department’s effort to 

develop, in the words of U.S. 

Transportation Secretary Mary Peters, 

‘‘21st Century Solutions to 21st Century 

Challenges’’ facing the Nation’s 

transportation network. One such 

challenge is the severe and worsening 

problem of metropolitan traffic 

congestion. Through the Urban 

Partnership Program, the Department is 

offering a combination of grants, 

technical expertise, regulatory relief and 

credit support to jurisdictions which are 

prepared to experiment with four 

strategies believed to be effective, on a 

combined basis, in reducing 

metropolitan traffic congestion: (i) Value 

pricing, (ii) bus transit, (iii) 

telecommuting and flextime, and (iv) 

intelligent transportation technology. 

Representatives of metropolitan areas 

interested in becoming Urban Partners 

must submit an application to the 

Department that meets the requirements 

detailed in the Department’s December 

8, 2006, Federal Register Notice 

(‘‘Applications for Urban Partnership 

Agreements (‘‘UPAs’’) as Part of 

Congestion Initiative’’). Designation as 

an Urban Partner does not, by itself, 

qualify a party for any grant or funding 

amount. However, Urban Partners will 

receive priority consideration under the 

other departmental discretionary 

funding programs referenced below, to 

the extent that program terms provide or 

allow. 

Applicants must apply separately to 

each of the programs from which they 

seek funding and must meet each 

program’s specific statutory 

requirements. Applicants are 

encouraged to identify in each 

application those other Urban 

Partnership-related program 

solicitations, if any, to which they have 

applied. All application materials are 

due to the Department by April 30, 

2007, apart from applications to the 

Federal Transit Administration’s 

Alternatives Analysis and Bus & Bus 

Facilities Programs, which are due by 

May 22, 2007.
