The U.S. Department of
Transportation’s (DOT) Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) announces the
selection of projects with Fiscal Year
(FY) 2017 appropriations for the Low or
No Emission Grants Program (Low-No
Program). Federal transit law authorized
$55 million for competitive allocations
in FY 2017. On April 27, 2017, FTA
published a Notice of Funding
Opportunity (NOFO) announcing the
availability of $55 million in
competitive funding under the Low-No
Program. These program funds will
provide financial assistance to purchase
or lease low or no emission vehicles that
use advanced technologies, including

transit revenue operations.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Successful applicants should contact
the appropriate FTA Regional Office for
information regarding applying for the
funds or program-specific information.
A list of Regional Offices can be found
at www.fta.dot.gov. Unsuccessful
applicants may contact Tara Clark,

SUMMARY:
In
response to the NOFO (82 FR 19447),
FTA received 128 proposals from 40
states requesting $515 million in
Federal funds. Project proposals were
evaluated based on each applicant’s
responsiveness to the program
evaluation criteria outlined in the
NOFO. FTA is funding 51 projects as
shown in Table 1 for a total of $55
million, as authorized by Section
5339(c) of Title 49, United States Code.
Recipients selected for competitive
funding should work with their FTA
Regional Office to submit a grant
application in FTA’s Transit Award
Management System (TrAMs) for the
projects identified in the attached table
to quickly obligate funds. Grant
applications must only include eligible
activities applied for in the original
project application. Funds must be used
consistent with the competitive
proposal and for the eligible capital
purposes established in the NOFO and
described in the FTA Circular 5100.1.
In cases where the allocation amount
is less than the proposer’s total
requested amount, recipients are
required to fund the scalable project
option as described the application. If
the award amount does not correspond
to the scalable option, for example due
to a cap on the award amount, the
recipient 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 TrAMs application.
Selected projects are eligible to incur
costs under pre-award authority no
earlier than the date successful projects
were first publicly announced,
September 15, 2017. Pre-award
authority does not guarantee that project
expenses incurred prior to the award of
a grant will be eligible for
reimbursement, as eligibility for
reimbursement is contingent upon other
requirements, such as planning and
environmental requirements, having
been met. For more about FTA’s policy
on pre-award authority, please see the
FTA Fiscal Year 2017 Apportionments,
Allocations, and Program Information
and Interim Guidance found in 82 FR
6692 (January 19, 2017). Post-award
reporting requirements include
submission of the Federal Financial
Report and Milestone Progress Reports
in TrAMs as appropriate (see
FTA.C.5010.1E). Recipients must
comply with all applicable Federal
statutes, regulations, executive orders,
FTA circulars, and other Federal
requirements in carrying out the project
supported by the FTA grant. Selected
projects that include partnerships have
satisfied the competitive procurement
requirement through the competitive
selection process. FTA emphasizes that
all other recipients must follow all
third-party procurement guidance as
authorized by 49 U.S.C. 5325(a) and
described in FTA.C.4220.1F. Funds are
available for a period of 3 years.
Accordingly, funds allocated in this
announcement must be obligated in a
grant by September 30, 2020.

Fiscal Year 2017 Low or No Emission Grant Program Project
Selections
AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice of project selections; Low or No Emission Grants Program
announcement of project selections.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) announces the selection of projects with Fiscal
Year (FY) 2017 appropriations for the Low or No Emission Grants Program
(Low-No Program). Federal transit law authorized $55 million for
competitive allocations in FY 2017. On April 27, 2017, FTA published a
Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) announcing the availability of $55
million in competitive funding under the Low-No Program. These program
funds will provide financial assistance to purchase or lease low or no
emission vehicles that use advanced technologies, including related
equipment or facilities, for transit revenue operations.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Successful applicants should contact
the appropriate FTA Regional Office for information regarding applying
for the funds or program-specific information. A list of Regional
Offices can be found at www.fta.dot.gov. Unsuccessful applicants may
contact Tara Clark, Office of Program Management at (202) 366-2623,
email: [email protected], to arrange a proposal debriefing within 30
days of this announcement. A TDD is available at 1-800-877-8339 (TDD/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In response to the NOFO (82 FR 19447), FTA
received 128 proposals from 40 states requesting $515 million in
Federal funds. Project proposals were evaluated based on each
applicant's responsiveness to the program evaluation criteria outlined
in the NOFO. FTA is funding 51 projects as shown in Table 1 for a total
of $55 million, as authorized by Section 5339(c) of Title 49, United

Recipients selected for competitive funding should work with their
FTA Regional Office to submit a grant application in FTA's Transit

proposal and for the eligible capital purposes established in the NOFO
and described in the FTA Circular 5100.1.
In cases where the allocation amount is less than the proposer's
total requested amount, recipients are required to fund the scalable
project option as described the application. If the award amount does
not correspond to the scalable option, for example due to a cap on the
award amount, the recipient 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 TrAMs
application. Selected projects are eligible to incur costs under pre-
