AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration (FTA), DOT.
ACTION: State of Good Repair Bus and Bus Facilities program
announcement of project selections.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) announces the selection of projects funded with
Section 5309 Bus and Bus Facilities program funds in support of the
State of Good Repair (SGR) Initiative, which was announced in the State
of Good Repair Initiative Notice of Funding Availability on May 4,
2010. The SGR Initiative makes funds available to public transit
providers to finance 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.
Additionally, the SGR Initiative makes funds available for Transit
Asset Management systems, which is a systematic process of operating,
maintaining, improving, and expanding physical assets effectively
throughout their life cycles.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Successful and unsuccessful applicants
should contact the appropriate FTA Regional office (Appendix) for
specific information regarding applying for the funds or proposal
specific questions. For general program information on the Bus and Bus
Facilities program, contact Kimberly Sledge, Office of Program
Management, at (202) 366-2053, e-mail: kimberly.sledge@dot.gov, or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A total of $776,474,305 was available for
FTA's SGR Initiative. A total of 422 applicants requested $4.06
billion, indicating significant demand for funds. Project proposals
were evaluated based on the criteria detailed in the May 4, 2010 Notice
of Funding Availability. The projects selected and shown in Table 1
will provide funds to help maintain the nation's public transportation
bus fleet, infrastructure, and equipment in a state of good repair.
Grantees selected for competitive discretionary funding under the
SGR Initiative should work with their FTA regional office (Appendix) to
finalize the application in FTA's Transportation Electronic Award
Management system, (TEAM) so that funds can be obligated expeditiously.
Funds must be used for projects detailed in the proposal and for the
purposes specified in the project descriptions in the table. A
discretionary project identification number has been assigned to each
project for tracking purposes and must be used in the TEAM application.
Selected projects have pre-award authority as of October 4, 2010. Post-
award reporting requirements include submission of the Federal
Financial Report (FFR) and Milestone Report in TEAM as appropriate (see
FTA.C.5010.1D).
The grantee must comply with all applicable Federal statutes,
regulations, executive orders, FTA circulars, and other Federal
administrative requirements in carrying out the project supported by
the FTA grant. Funds allocated in this announcement must be obligated
in a grant by September 30, 2013.
