Federal Transit Administration February 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is seeking public comment on proposed updates to FTA's Award Management Requirements circular (C 5010.1). The proposed updates combine requirements applicable to all FTA financial assistance awards (referred to as ``cross-cutting'' requirements) and, when final, will supersede parts of three separate FTA circulars (the proposed ``Grant Programs for Urbanized Areas'', ``Formula Grants for Rural Areas'' (C 9040.1G), and ``Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities'' (C 9070.1G)). The proposed updates also reflect changes made by the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act; the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL)); the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards; and other updates to FTA policies and procedures.

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announces the opportunity to apply for approximately $1.10 billion in competitive grants under the fiscal year (FY) 2024 Low or No Emission Grant Program (Low-No Program) (Federal Assistance Listing: 20.526) and approximately $390 million in competitive grants under the FY 2024 Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Program (Buses and Bus Facilities Program) (Federal Assistance Listing 20.526), subject to availability of appropriated funding.
