Description

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announces the opportunity to apply for $13.4 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 funding. Any comprehensive or site specific planning work proposed for funding under this program must be associated with an eligible transit capital project, namely a new fixed guideway project or a core capacity improvement project as defined in Section 5309(a) of title 49, United States Code. These statutory definitions are also provided in section (C)(3)(i) of the notice of funding opportunity (NOFO). Projects are not required to be within the Capital Investment Grants Program.
