SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Federal
public transportation law (49 U.S.C.
5339(b)) authorizes FTA to make
competitive grants for the Buses and
Bus Facilities Program. Federal public
transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5339(c))
authorizes FTA to make competitive
grants for the Low-No Program.
Federal public transportation law (49
U.S.C. 5338(a)(2)(M)) authorized
$375,696,244 in FY 2022 funds for the
Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities
Program. The Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2022 (Pub. L. 117–
103), appropriated an additional
$175,000,000 for the Grants for Buses
and Bus Facilities Program. After the
oversight takedown of $4,666,931, the
total funding is $546,029,313 for the
Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities
Program. FTA is also making available
an additional $5,479,636 of recovered
funding for this round, bringing the total
available funding to $551,508,949.
Federal public transportation law (49
U.S.C. 5338(a)(2)(M)) authorized
$71,561,189 in FY 2022 funds for the
Low or No Emission Grant Program;
plus an additional $1,050,000,000
appropriated under the 2021 Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law (enacted as the
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act,
Pub. L. 117–58). The Consolidated

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 159 / Thursday, August 18, 2022 / Notices
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Appropriations Act, 2022, appropriated
an additional $75,000,000 for the Low
or No Emission Grant Program. After the
oversight takedown and transfer to
Office of Inspector General, the total
funding available is $1,174,998,689 for
the Low-No Program.
On March 4, 2022, FTA published a
joint Notice of Funding Opportunity
(NOFO) (87 FR 12528) announcing the
availability of approximately $372
million in FY 2022 Buses and Bus
Facilities Program funds and
approximately $1.1 billion in Low-No
funds. After this NOFO was published,
Congress enacted the FY22
Consolidated Appropriations Act,
which made additional funding
available to the two programs.
Consistent with the NOFO, which stated
that FTA ‘‘may award additional
funding that is made available to the
programs prior to the announcement of
project selections,’’ FTA is electing to
add the FY22 Consolidated
Appropriations Act funding made
available for both programs to this
NOFO. These funds will provide
financial assistance to states and eligible
public agencies to replace, rehabilitate,
purchase, or lease buses, vans, and
related equipment, and for capital
projects to rehabilitate, purchase,
construct, or lease bus-related facilities.
For the Low-No Program, projects must
be directly related to the low or noemission vehicles within the fleet. In
response to the NOFO, FTA received
530 eligible project proposals totaling
approximately $7.71 billion in Federal
funds. Project proposals were evaluated
based on each applicant’s
responsiveness to the program
evaluation criteria outlined in the
NOFO.
Based on the criteria in the NOFO,
FTA is funding 100 projects, as shown
in Table 1, for a total of $1,105,329,750
for the Low-No Program and 50 projects,
as shown in Table 2, for a total of
$551,366,311 for the Buses and Bus
Facilities Program. A minimum of 15
percent of the amounts made available
for the Buses and Bus Facilities Program
are set aside for projects located in rural
areas, which is reflected in FTA’s
selections. A statutory cap of 10 percent
for any one applicant in the Buses and
Bus Facilities Program is reflected as
well. A minimum of 25 percent of the
amounts made available for the Low or
No Emission Grant Program are set aside
for projects related to the acquisition of
low or no emission buses or bus
facilities other than zero emission
vehicles and related facilities. In
response to this NOFO, FTA did not
receive enough applications to the Low
or No Emission Grant Program for low
emission projects to exhaust this setaside. FTA intends to include the
remainder of this set-aside in the next
NOFO that it issues for the Low-No
Emission Grant Program. Recipients
selected for competitive funding are
required to 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 include only eligible
activities applied for in the original
project application. Funds must be used
consistent with the competitive
proposal and for the eligible capital
purposes described in the NOFO.
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 in the application.
If the award amount does not
correspond to the scalable option, the
recipient should work with the Regional
Office to reduce scope or scale the
project such that a complete phase or
project is accomplished. Recipients may
also provide additional local funds to
complete a proposed project. 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 projects were
publicly announced. 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
current FTA Apportionments,
Allocations, and Program Information at
https://www.transit.dot.gov/funding/
apportionments. Post-award reporting
requirements include submission of
Federal Financial Reports and Milestone
Progress Reports in TrAMS (see FTA
Circular 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. FTA
emphasizes that recipients must follow
all third-party procurement
requirements set forth in Federal public
transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5325(a))
and described in the FTA Third Party
Contracting Guidance Circular (FTA
Circular 4220.1). Funds allocated in this
announcement must be obligated in a
grant by September 30, 2025.
Technical Review and Evaluation
Summary: The FTA assessed all project
proposals that were submitted under the
FY 2022 Buses and Bus Facilities
Program and the Low or No Emission
Program competition according to the
following evaluation criteria. The
specific metrics for each criterion were
described in the March 4, 2022, NOFO:
1. Demonstration of Need
2. Demonstration of Benefits
3. Planning/Local Prioritization
4. Local Financial Commitment
5. Project Implementation Strategy
6. Technical, Legal, and Financial Capacity
For each project, a technical review
panel assigned a rating of Highly
Recommended, Recommended, or Not
Recommended for each of the six
criteria. The technical review panel then
assigned an overall rating of Highly
Recommended, Recommended, Not
Recommended, or Ineligible to the
project proposal.
Projects were assigned a final overall
rating of Highly Recommended if they
were rated Highly Recommended in at
least four categories overall, with no Not
Recommended ratings. Projects were
assigned a final overall rating of
Recommended if the projects had three
or more Recommended ratings and no
Not Recommended ratings. Projects
were assigned a rating of Not
Recommended if they received a Not
Recommended rating in any criteria. A
summary of the final overall ratings for
all 530 eligible project proposals is
shown in the table below.

As outlined in the NOFO, FTA made
the final selections based on the
technical ratings as well as geographic
diversity, diversity in the size of transit
systems receiving funding,
Administration priorities including
climate change, the creation of good-
paying jobs, an application’s zeroemission fleet transition plan
supporting a full fleet transition, and/or
receipt of other recent competitive
awards.
As further outlined in the NOFO, in
some cases, due to funding limitations,
proposers that were selected for funding
received less than the amount originally
requested.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Transit Administration
Announcement of Fiscal Year 2022 Low or No Emission Program and
Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Program and Project Selections
AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice; announcement of project selections.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) announces the award of a total of $1,656,696,061,
including $1,105,329,750 to projects under the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022
Low or No Emission Grant Program (Low-No) and $551,366,311 to projects
under the Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Program (Buses and Bus
Facilities Program) and provides administrative guidance on project
implementation.
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 https://www.transit.dot.gov/about/regional-offices/regional-offices. Unsuccessful applicants may contact Amy Volz,
Office of Program Management at (202) 366-7484, or email:
[email protected] within 30 days of this announcement to arrange a
proposal debriefing. A TDD is available at 1-800-877-8339 (TDD/FIRS).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Federal public transportation law (49 U.S.C.
5339(b)) authorizes FTA to make competitive grants for the Buses and
Bus Facilities Program. Federal public transportation law (49 U.S.C.
5339(c)) authorizes FTA to make competitive grants for the Low-No
Program.
Federal public transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5338(a)(2)(M))
authorized $375,696,244 in FY 2022 funds for the Grants for Buses and
Bus Facilities Program. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (Pub.
L. 117-103), appropriated an additional $175,000,000 for the Grants for
Buses and Bus Facilities Program. After the oversight takedown of
$4,666,931, the total funding is $546,029,313 for the Grants for Buses
and Bus Facilities Program. FTA is also making available an additional
$5,479,636 of recovered funding for this round, bringing the total
available funding to $551,508,949.
Federal public transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5338(a)(2)(M))
authorized $71,561,189 in FY 2022 funds for the Low or No Emission
Grant Program; plus an additional $1,050,000,000 appropriated under the
2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (enacted as the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act, Pub. L. 117-58). The Consolidated
[[Page 50917]]
Appropriations Act, 2022, appropriated an additional $75,000,000 for
the Low or No Emission Grant Program. After the oversight takedown and
transfer to Office of Inspector General, the total funding available is
$1,174,998,689 for the Low-No Program.
On March 4, 2022, FTA published a joint Notice of Funding
Opportunity (NOFO) (87 FR 12528) announcing the availability of
approximately $372 million in FY 2022 Buses and Bus Facilities Program
funds and approximately $1.1 billion in Low-No funds. After this NOFO
was published, Congress enacted the FY22 Consolidated Appropriations
Act, which made additional funding available to the two programs.
Consistent with the NOFO, which stated that FTA ``may award additional
funding that is made available to the programs prior to the
announcement of project selections,'' FTA is electing to add the FY22
Consolidated Appropriations Act funding made available for both
programs to this NOFO. These funds will provide financial assistance to
states and eligible public agencies to replace, rehabilitate, purchase,
or lease buses, vans, and related equipment, and for capital projects
to rehabilitate, purchase, construct, or lease bus-related facilities.
For the Low-No Program, projects must be directly related to the low or
no-emission vehicles within the fleet. In response to the NOFO, FTA
received 530 eligible project proposals totaling approximately $7.71
billion in Federal funds. Project proposals were evaluated based on
each applicant's responsiveness to the program evaluation criteria
outlined in the NOFO.
Based on the criteria in the NOFO, FTA is funding 100 projects, as
shown in Table 1, for a total of $1,105,329,750 for the Low-No Program
and 50 projects, as shown in Table 2, for a total of $551,366,311 for
the Buses and Bus Facilities Program. A minimum of 15 percent of the
amounts made available for the Buses and Bus Facilities Program are set
aside for projects located in rural areas, which is reflected in FTA's
selections. A statutory cap of 10 percent for any one applicant in the
Buses and Bus Facilities Program is reflected as well. A minimum of 25
percent of the amounts made available for the Low or No Emission Grant
Program are set aside for projects related to the acquisition of low or
no emission buses or bus facilities other than zero emission vehicles
and related facilities. In response to this NOFO, FTA did not receive
enough applications to the Low or No Emission Grant Program for low
emission projects to exhaust this set-aside. FTA intends to include the
remainder of this set-aside in the next NOFO that it issues for the
Low-No Emission Grant Program. Recipients selected for competitive
funding are required to 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 include only eligible activities applied
for in the original project application. Funds must be used consistent
with the competitive proposal and for the eligible capital purposes
described in the NOFO.
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 in the application. If the award amount
does not correspond to the scalable option, the recipient should work
with the Regional Office to reduce scope or scale the project such that
a complete phase or project is accomplished. Recipients may also
provide additional local funds to complete a proposed project. 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 projects were publicly announced.
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 current
FTA Apportionments, Allocations, and Program Information at https://www.transit.dot.gov/funding/apportionments. Post-award reporting
requirements include submission of Federal Financial Reports and
Milestone Progress Reports in TrAMS (see FTA Circular 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.
FTA emphasizes that recipients must follow all third-party procurement
requirements set forth in Federal public transportation law (49 U.S.C.
5325(a)) and described in the FTA Third Party Contracting Guidance
Circular (FTA Circular 4220.1). Funds allocated in this announcement
must be obligated in a grant by September 30, 2025.
Technical Review and Evaluation Summary: The FTA assessed all
project proposals that were submitted under the FY 2022 Buses and Bus
Facilities Program and the Low or No Emission Program competition
according to the following evaluation criteria. The specific metrics
for each criterion were described in the March 4, 2022, NOFO:
1. Demonstration of Need
2. Demonstration of Benefits
3. Planning/Local Prioritization
4. Local Financial Commitment
5. Project Implementation Strategy
6. Technical, Legal, and Financial Capacity
For each project, a technical review panel assigned a rating of
Highly Recommended, Recommended, or Not Recommended for each of the six
criteria. The technical review panel then assigned an overall rating of
Highly Recommended, Recommended, Not Recommended, or Ineligible to the
project proposal.
Projects were assigned a final overall rating of Highly Recommended
if they were rated Highly Recommended in at least four categories
overall, with no Not Recommended ratings. Projects were assigned a
final overall rating of Recommended if the projects had three or more
Recommended ratings and no Not Recommended ratings. Projects were
assigned a rating of Not Recommended if they received a Not Recommended
rating in any criteria. A summary of the final overall ratings for all
530 eligible project proposals is shown in the table below.

[[Page 50918]]
Not Recommended................................................. 22 21 43
-----------------------------------------------
Total....................................................... 282 248 530
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As outlined in the NOFO, FTA made the final selections based on the
technical ratings as well as geographic diversity, diversity in the
size of transit systems receiving funding, Administration priorities
including climate change, the creation of good-paying jobs, an
application's zero-emission fleet transition plan supporting a full
fleet transition, and/or receipt of other recent competitive awards.
As further outlined in the NOFO, in some cases, due to funding
limitations, proposers that were selected for funding received less
than the amount originally requested.
