ACTION: Notice of award.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Department of
Transportation’s (DOT) Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) announces the
selection of projects to be funded under
Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 and 2010
appropriations for the Over-the-Road
Bus (OTRB) Accessibility Program,
authorized by Section 3038 of the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st
Century (TEA–21). The OTRB
Accessibility Program makes funds
available to private operators of overthe-road buses to help finance the
incremental capital and training costs of
complying with DOT’s over-the-road
bus accessibility rule, published in the
Federal Register on September 24, 1998.

SUMMARY:
Younger, Office of Program
Management, 202–366–2053, for general
information about the OTRB Program.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A total of
$20 million was made available for the
program in FY 2009 and FY 2010: $15
million for intercity fixed-route
providers and $5 million for all other
providers, such as commuter, charter,
and tour operators. A total of 165
applicants requested $49.7 million:
$27.5 million was requested by intercity
fixed-route providers, and $22.2 million
was requested by all other providers.
Project selections were made on a
discretionary basis, based on each
applicant’s responsiveness to statutory
project selection criteria, percent of fleet
accessible, and level of funding received
in previous years. Because of the high
demand for the funds available, most
successful applicants received less
funding than they requested.
The selected projects will provide
funding for the incremental cost of
adding lifts to 376 new vehicles,
retrofitting 142 vehicles, and $102,759
for training (See Tables I and II). Each
of the awardees, as well as applicants
who were not selected for funding, will
receive a letter explaining how funding
decisions were made. Eligible project
costs may be incurred by awardees prior
to final grant approval. The incremental
capital cost for adding wheelchair lift
