CRRSAA 100% Federal Share FAQs:
CA31: Does the CRRSAA waive the local share requirement for formula grants for enhanced mobility for seniors and individuals with disabilities (49 U.S.C. 5310)?
A: Yes. The CRRSAA waives the requirement for local share for previously apportioned (FY21 and prior) unobligated Section 5310 funds. Any unobligated Section 5310 funds may be obligated at a 100 percent federal share. In addition, CRRSAA funds apportioned to the Section 5310 program may be obligated at a 100-percent federal share. The use of Section 5310 formula funds must comply with all Section 5310 requirements, including the 55 percent minimum expenditure for traditional capital projects and inclusion of projects in the coordinated plan. Please see FTA's Section 5310 Circular for additional information.
