Buses and Bus Facilities Infrastructure 

Investment Program. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Transit 

Administration (FTA) announces the 

selection of projects with $226,473,000 

of Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 and 

$37,973,775 of FY 2018 appropriations 

for the Grants for Buses and Bus

funds or program-specific information. 

A list of Regional Offices can be found 

at www.fta.dot.gov. Unsuccessful 

applicants may contact Mark G.

29604 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 122 / Monday, June 25, 2018 / Notices 

this announcement. A TDD is available 

at 1–800–877–8339 (TDD/FIRS). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 

18, 2017, FTA published a Notice of 

Funding Opportunity (NOFO) 

announcing the availability of Federal 

funding for the Grants for Buses and Bus 

Facilities Infrastructure Investment 

Program as authorized by Federal transit 

law (49 U.S.C. 5339(b)). These program 

funds will provide financial assistance 

to states and eligible public agencies to 

replace, rehabilitate, purchase, or lease 

buses, vans, and related equipment, and 

capital projects to rehabilitate, purchase, 

construct, or lease bus-related facilities. 

In response to the NOFO, FTA received 

453 project proposals from 53 States and 

territories totaling approximately $2 

billion in Federal funds, or nearly nine 

dollars requested for each dollar 

available, indicating significant demand 

for funding for buses and bus facility 

projects. Project proposals were 

evaluated based on each applicant’s 

responsiveness to the program 

evaluation criteria outlined in the 

NOFO. 

FTA is funding 139 projects, as shown 

in Table 1, for a total of $264,446,775. 

Recipients selected for competitive 

funding should work with their FTA 

Regional Office to submit a grant 

application in FTA’s Transit Award 

Management System (TrAMs) for the 

projects identified in the attached table. 

Funds must be used consistent with the 

competitive proposal and for the eligible 

capital purposes established in the 

NOFO and described in the FTA 

Circular 9030.1E. Applicants with more 

than one selected project will receive a 

single allocation that may be used for 

any one or more of the selected projects. 

In cases where the allocation amount 

is less than the proposer’s total 

requested amount, recipients are 

required to fund the scalable project 

option as described in the application. 

If the award amount does not 

correspond to the scalable option, for 

example due to a cap on the award 

amount, the recipient should work with 

the Regional Office to reduce scope or 

scale the project such that a complete 

phase or project is accomplished. 

Recipients are reminded that program 

requirements such as cost sharing or 

local match can be found in the NOFO. 

A discretionary project identification 

number has been assigned to each 

project for tracking purposes and must 

be used in the TrAMs application. 

Selected projects are eligible to incur 

costs under pre-award authority no 

earlier than the date projects were 

publicly announced, April 5, 2018. Preaward authority does not guarantee that 

project expenses incurred prior to the 

award of a grant will be eligible for 

reimbursement, as eligibility for 

reimbursement is contingent upon other 

requirements, such as planning and 

environmental requirements, having 

been met. For more about FTA’s policy 

on pre-award authority, please see the 

FTA Fiscal Year Apportionments, 

Allocations, and Program Information 

and Interim Guidance found in 82 FR 

6692 (January 19, 2017). Post-award 

reporting requirements include 

submission of the Federal Financial 

Report and Milestone progress reports 

in TrAMs as appropriate (see 

FTA.C.5010.1E and C9030.1E). 

Recipients must comply with all 

applicable Federal statutes, regulations, 

executive orders, FTA circulars, and 

other Federal requirements in carrying 

out the project supported by the FTA 

grant. FTA emphasizes that recipients 

must follow all third-party procurement 

guidance, as described in 

FTA.C.4220.1F. Funds allocated in this 

announcement must be obligated in a 

grant by September 30, 2021.
