Local Matching Funds | FTA
A. The following Federal funding may be used for local share of FTA programs to the extent described below:
Federal funds that are Derived from Amounts Made Available to a Federal Department or Agency Other than DOT.
Unless Federal Transit Law specifies program funding made available to other Federal agencies as eligible for local share for FTA programs, FTA leaves the determination whether another agency’s funding may be used for local share for FTA programs to that agency. Under the laws and regulations governing that funding, however, that funding must be eligible for use in public transportation projects.
(1) Elderly Individuals and Individuals with Disabilities Program, 49 U.S.C. § 5310.
(2). Nonurbanized Area Formula Program, 49 U.S.C. § 5311.
(3) Job Access and Reverse Commute Program, 49 U.S.C. § 5316; however, specific program information for other types of Federal funding is available at http://www.unitedweride.gov/.
(4) New Freedom Program, 49 U.S.C. § 5317, however, specific program information for other types of Federal funding is available athttp://www.unitedweride.gov/.
If another Federal agency permits its funds to be used for local share, the following FTA programs are implicitly authorized by law to accept that funding:
(1) Urbanized Area Formula Program grant, 49 U.S.C. § 5307 [because TANF funds are expressly authorized for use as local share].
(2) Programs for which FTA can provide 100% FTA assistance, provided that the conditions precedent for 100% FTA assistance are fulfilled, including but not limited to:
(a) Planning Program, 49 U.S.C. 5305(b).
(b) National Planning and Research Program, 49 U.S.C. 5305(e).
(c) National research program, 49 U.S.C. § 5312(a).

(Answer revised September 15, 2009)
A. The law recognizes in-kind matches, but FTA policy determines what is eligible. The FTA regional office that oversees your grant would determine if the equipment you describe would be acceptable as an in-kind match.
“[B]icycle access, including bicycle storage facilities” is eligible transit enhancements, and thus an eligible “capital project” as defined in the Federal Transit Laws. Both common grant rules, 49 C.F.R. Part 18 and 49 C.F.R. Part 19, provide that a Recipient may provide in-kind contributions toward the local share provided that the Recipient formally documents the value of each non-cash share, and if this value represents a cost that would otherwise be eligible under the Project. The net project cost of the Project for which the donated property is credited must include the value of any in-kind contributions in the net project cost of that Project to the extent it is used as local match. (Revised: September, 2009)
Q. Can you provide a link or identify where to find the requirements related to in-kind match for the urbanized program (Section 5307)?
A. FTA Grant Management Circular 5010.1D covers the issue of "local match" funds in Chapter VI, paragraph 3. If you would propose to use "in-kind" resources rather than funds for your local match, you should contact your regional FTA office to discuss the nature of the in-kind contribution.

A. You need to submit your proposal for local match funds to your FTA Regional Office. Visit the web page for the FTA Region 9 Office in San Francisco.
Further, OMB's Super circular 2 CFR Part 200 states "financing costs (including interest) to acquire, construct or replace capital assets are allowable, subject to the conditions set forth in §200.449 of the Super Circular.(Posted: November, 2015)
