A total of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
requested $3.56 billion, indicating
significant demand for funds. Project
proposals were evaluated based on the
criteria detailed in the June 24, 2011
Notice of Funding Availability. In
selecting projects for funding using Bus
Program funds, FTA ensured that at
least 5.5 percent of the FY 2011 Section
5309 funds, or $53.5 million, is being
allocated to projects that are not in
urbanized areas. Additionally, at least
$35 million is being allocated for
intermodal terminal projects. 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.
Project Implementation: Grantees
selected for competitive discretionary
funding should work with their FTA
regional office to finalize the grant
application FTA’s Transportation
Electronic Award Management system

attached table and so that funds can be
obligated expeditiously. FTA funds may
only be used for eligible purposes
defined under 49 U.S.C. 5309(b)(3) and
described in FTA C. 9030.1C. In cases
where the allocation amount is less than
the proposer’s requested amount,
grantees should work with the regional
office to reduce scope or scale the
project such that a complete phase or
project is accomplished. 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
17, 2011.
Post-award reporting requirements
include submission of the Federal
Financial Report (FFR) and Milestone
Report in TEAM as appropriate (see

The grantee must comply with all
applicable Federal statutes, regulations,

requirements in carrying out the project
supported by the FTA grant. FTA
emphasizes that grantees must follow all
third-party procurement guidance, as
described in FTA.C.4220.1F. Funds
allocated in this announcement must be
obligated in a grant by September 30,
2014.
