FTA Announces the Availability of $2.2 Billion in American Rescue Plan Funding to Help Transit Agencies with Additional Service Needs<\/h2>\n

Published on:<\/strong> September 10, 2021<\/em><\/p>\n

FTA today announced a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO)<\/a> for $2.2 billion in competitive grant funding for transit systems demonstrating additional pandemic-associated needs. Funding is provided by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which was signed into law by President Biden on March 11, 2021.<\/p>\n

Additional Assistance Funding <\/a>may be awarded to transit systems demonstrating additional assistance is needed to cover operating expenses related to maintaining day-to-day operations, cleaning and sanitization, combating the spread of pathogens on transit systems and maintaining critical staffing levels.<\/p>\n

FTA will review applications based on the level of financial need, including projections of future financial need to maintain service as a percentage of the 2018 operating costs. Funding that is requested by an eligible applicant must not have been replaced by funding made available through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) of 2021, and other ARP funding.<\/p>\n

Applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov<\/a> by 11:59 PM ET November 8, 2021.<\/p>\n
