The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law 113–235, December 16, 2014, made available $22,500,000 in FY 2015 funds to carry out the LoNo Program. Of that amount, a maximum of $19,500,000 was available for transit buses and a minimum of $3,000,000 was available for supporting facilities and related equipment. On September 24, 2015, FTA published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) (80 FR 57656) announcing the availability of funding for the LoNo Program. The purpose of the LoNo Program is to deploy the cleanest and most energy efficient U.S.made transit buses that have been largely proven in testing and demonstrations but are not yet widely deployed in transit agency fleets. The LoNo Program provides funding for transit agencies for capital acquisitions and leases of zero-emission and lowemission transit buses, including acquisition, construction, and leasing of required supporting facilities such as recharging, refueling, and maintenance facilities. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The appropriate FTA Regional Office will contact successful applicants regarding the next steps in applying for funds (see Table 1). Unsuccessful LoNo Program applicants may contact Sean Ricketson, Office of Research Demonstration, and Innovation at email address sean.ricketson@dot.gov to arrange a proposal debriefing within 30 days of this announcement. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In response to the LoNo NOFA, FTA received 63 project proposals requesting $247,631,499 in Federal funds. Project proposals were evaluated based on each applicant’s responsiveness to the program evaluation criteria published in the NOFA. FTA is funding seven LoNo Program projects, as shown in Table 1, for a total of $22,500,000. Grantees selected for the LoNo Program should work with their FTA Regional Office to complete the grant applications. Grant applications must only include eligible activities applied for in the original project application.
