competitive process based on each applicant's response to the program 
evaluation criteria outlined in FTA's May 21, 2008, Federal Register

    Because of the high demand, many applicants selected for funding

an increased number of meritorious applications. Funds were only 
awarded to fund one year of the project. Tribes that sought funding for

transit service; and, $10,822,500 for enhancements or expansion of 
existing transit services. Each of the 71 awardees, as well as the 
applicants not selected for funding, will receive a letter detailing 
the funding decision. The successful applicants for FY 2008 are listed 
in Table I.
    Following the publication of this notice, FTA's regional tribal 
liaison will contact each applicant selected for funding to discuss 
technical assistance needs. In the event the contact information
