TIME AND DATE:
SUMMARY:
designated recipients or eligible direct
recipients of Section 5307 funds to
assist in the financing of capital projects
to support existing passenger ferry
service, establish new ferry service, and
to repair and modernize ferry boats,
terminals, and related facilities and
equipment. FTA may award additional
funding made available to the program
prior to the announcement of project
selections.
Section 5307(h) of Title 49, United
States Code, as amended by the Fixing
America’s Surface Transportation
(FAST Act) (Pub. L. 114–94, Dec. 4,
2015), authorizes FTA to award funds
through a competitive process, as
described in this notice, for capital
projects to improve the condition and
quality of existing passenger ferry
services, support the establishment of
new passenger ferry services, and to
repair and modernize ferry boats,
terminals, and related facilities and
equipment. FTA recognizes that
passenger ferries provide critical and
cost-effective transportation links in
urban areas throughout the United
States but face a critical backlog of state
of good repair and safety investments.

B. Federal Award Information 5307(h)
Passenger Ferry Grant Program
Federal transit law authorizes $30
million in FY 2017 for passenger ferry
grants under 49 U.S.C. 5307(h) (Ferry
program). FTA may supplement the
total available with future
appropriations. FTA will grant preaward authority to incur costs for
selected projects beginning on the date
that project selections are announced.
Funds are only available for projects
that have not already incurred costs and
will be available for obligation until
September 30, 2022. In FY 2015 and FY
2016, the program received 21 proposals
from 10 states and the U.S. Virgin
Islands requesting $98.1 million in
Federal funds. Eighteen projects were
funded at a total of $58.9 million.
C. Eligibility Information
1. Eligible Applicants
Eligible applicants under this program
must be designated recipients or eligible
direct recipients of Section 5307 funds,
which include public entities engaged
in providing a public transportation
passenger ferry service in urbanized
areas. If the recipient is eligible to
receive 5307 funds, but does not
currently have an active grant with FTA,
upon selection, the recipient will be
required to work with the FTA regional
office to establish its organization as an
active grantee. This process may require
additional documentation to support the
organization’s technical, financial, and
legal capacity to receive and administer
Federal funds under this program.
2. Cost Sharing or Matching

5307(h) program are eligible for a
maximum 80 percent Federal share,
unless they qualify for one of the
following exceptions:

project costs for acquiring vehicles
(including Clean-fuel or alternative fuel)

The Federal share is 90 percent for net
project costs for vehicle-related
equipment or facilities (including cleanfuel or alternative-fuel vehicle-related
equipment or facilities) required by the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
of 1990, or for purposes of complying
with or maintaining compliance with
