regional-offices/regional-offices.
Unsuccessful applicants may contact
Kirsten Wiard-Bauer, Office of Program
Management at 202–366–7052, or email:

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)(N)) authorized
$383,544,933 in FY 2023 funds for the
Buses and Bus Facilities Program. The
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023,
appropriated an additional $90,000,000
for the Buses and Bus Facilities Program
in addition to the authorized amount
noted above. After the oversight
takedown of $4,099,509, the total
funding available is $469,445,424 for
the Buses and Bus Facilities Program.
FTA is also making additional prior
year(s) funding available for this round,
bringing the total available funding to
$473,075,256.
Federal public transportation law (49
U.S.C. 5338(a)(2)(N)) authorized
$73,056,178 in FY 2023 funds for the
Low or No Emission Grant Program; an
additional $1,029,000,000 appropriated
under the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure
Law (enacted as the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act, Public Law
117–58) after accounting for the

authorized takedown for administrative
and oversight expenses and the Office of
Inspector General (OIG). The
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023
(Pub. L. 117–328), appropriated an
additional $49,625,000 for the Low or
No Emission Grant Program after
accounting for the authorized oversight
takedown in addition to the authorized
amount noted above. Further, due to
less funding being requested than
funding available during the FY 2022
competition for low-emission projects,
$69,668,939 of FY 2022 Low-No
Program funds remained available for
award, of which $69,192,987 is reserved
for low-emission projects as required by
statute. After the oversight takedown
and transfer to the OIG, and the addition
of prior year(s) funding, a grand total of
$1,221,466,973 was made available for
the Low-No program in FY 2023.
On January 27, 2023, FTA published
a joint Notice of Funding Opportunity
(NOFO) (88 FR 5400) announcing the
availability of approximately $469
million in FY 2023 Buses and Bus
Facilities Program funds and
approximately $1.22 billion in Low-No
funds. 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 prior year(s)
unallocated funds for Buses and Bus
Facilities Program and Low-No to this
funding opportunity. 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
475 eligible project proposals totaling
approximately $8.7 billion in Federal
E:\FR\FM\05JYN1.SGM

43004
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 127 / Wednesday, July 5, 2023 / Notices
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 83 projects, as shown in
Table 1, for a total of $1,216,941,397 for
the Low-No Program and 47 projects, as
shown in Table 2, for a total of
$472,922,707 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 also reflected.
A minimum of 25 percent of the
amounts made available for the Low-No
Program are set aside for projects related
to the acquisition of low-emission buses
or bus facilities other than zeroemission vehicles and related facilities,
which is reflected as well. 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 tables
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, 2026.
Technical Review and Evaluation
Summary: The FTA assessed all project
proposals submitted under the FY 2023
Buses and Bus Facilities Program and
the Low-No Program competition
according to the following evaluation
criteria. The specific metrics for each
criterion were described in the January
27, 2023, 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 and did not receive
a Not Recommended rating. 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 475 eligible project proposals is
shown in the Overall Project Ratings
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, additional
considerations/administration priorities
including climate change, the creation

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Transit Administration
Announcement of Fiscal Year 2023 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 $1,689,864,104,
including $1,216,941,397 to projects under the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023
Low or No Emission Grant Program (Low-No) and $472,922,707 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 Kirsten
Wiard-Bauer, Office of Program Management at 202-366-7052, 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)(N))
authorized $383,544,933 in FY 2023 funds for the Buses and Bus
Facilities Program. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023,
appropriated an additional $90,000,000 for the Buses and Bus Facilities
Program in addition to the authorized amount noted above. After the
oversight takedown of $4,099,509, the total funding available is
$469,445,424 for the Buses and Bus Facilities Program. FTA is also
making additional prior year(s) funding available for this round,
bringing the total available funding to $473,075,256.
Federal public transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5338(a)(2)(N))
authorized $73,056,178 in FY 2023 funds for the Low or No Emission
Grant Program; an additional $1,029,000,000 appropriated under the 2021
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (enacted as the Infrastructure Investment
and Jobs Act, Public Law 117-58) after accounting for the authorized
takedown for administrative and oversight expenses and the Office of
Inspector General (OIG). The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023
(Pub. L. 117-328), appropriated an additional $49,625,000 for the Low
or No Emission Grant Program after accounting for the authorized
oversight takedown in addition to the authorized amount noted above.
Further, due to less funding being requested than funding available
during the FY 2022 competition for low-emission projects, $69,668,939
of FY 2022 Low-No Program funds remained available for award, of which
$69,192,987 is reserved for low-emission projects as required by
statute. After the oversight takedown and transfer to the OIG, and the
addition of prior year(s) funding, a grand total of $1,221,466,973 was
made available for the Low-No program in FY 2023.
On January 27, 2023, FTA published a joint Notice of Funding
Opportunity (NOFO) (88 FR 5400) announcing the availability of
approximately $469 million in FY 2023 Buses and Bus Facilities Program
funds and approximately $1.22 billion in Low-No funds. 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 prior year(s) unallocated funds
for Buses and Bus Facilities Program and Low-No to this funding
opportunity. 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 475 eligible project proposals totaling approximately $8.7
billion in Federal
[[Page 43004]]
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 83 projects, as
shown in Table 1, for a total of $1,216,941,397 for the Low-No Program
and 47 projects, as shown in Table 2, for a total of $472,922,707 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 also reflected. A minimum of 25
percent of the amounts made available for the Low-No Program are set
aside for projects related to the acquisition of low-emission buses or
bus facilities other than zero-emission vehicles and related
facilities, which is reflected as well. 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 tables 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, 2026.
Technical Review and Evaluation Summary: The FTA assessed all
project proposals submitted under the FY 2023 Buses and Bus Facilities
Program and the Low-No Program competition according to the following
evaluation criteria. The specific metrics for each criterion were
described in the January 27, 2023, 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 and
did not receive a Not Recommended rating. 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
475 eligible project proposals is shown in the Overall Project Ratings
table below.
Overall Project Ratings
[Eligible submissions]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bus Low-No Total
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Highly Recommended.............................................. 184 158 342
Recommended..................................................... 34 23 57
Not Recommended................................................. 47 29 76
Total....................................................... 265 210 475
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, additional considerations/
administration priorities including climate change, the creation of
good-paying jobs, an application's zero-emission fleet transition plan
supporting a full fleet transition, procurement methods to reduce
customization, and the Justice40 initiative.
As further outlined in the NOFO, in some cases, due to funding
limitations, proposals that were selected for funding received less
than the amount originally requested.
