The Office of the Secretary's (OST) National Infrastructure Investments program, also known as the Transportation Generating
Economic Recovery (TIGER) program, provides funding for grant awards or credit assistance on a competitive basis for capital
investments in surface transportation infrastructure that will have a significant impact on the Nation, a metropolitan area
or a region. No funds are requested in this account for FY 2015. The Administration is proposing funding for this program
within the multi-year surface transportation reauthorization. As part of that reauthorization proposal, programs currently
administered from this account would be continued in a new National Infrastructure Investments Trust Fund account that would
be funded from the Multimodal Account of the Transportation Trust Fund.

This appropriation provides funds for a multi-modal initiative to support prevention and response activities associated with
the safe transportation of crude oil, including enhanced inspection levels, additional safety inspectors, investigative efforts,
research and data analysis, economic analysis, training and outreach, and testing in high risk areas. The funds would be available
for initiatives within the Federal Railroad Administration, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, and the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The Administrators of those Operating Administrations along with representatives
of designated offices within the Office of the Secretary would jointly serve as a decision-making board for the use of the
funds and would be responsible for their effective administration. Funds also could be used to support collaborative efforts
with other Federal Departments and agencies, such as the Department of Energy, the Department of the Interior, and the Environmental
Protection Agency. The Department will submit a report to Congress discussing lessons learned and best practices resulting
from this initiative.

The Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 (P.L. 104–264) authorized the collection of user fees for services provided
by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to aircraft that neither take off nor land in the United States, commonly known
as overflight fees. The Act permanently appropriated the first $50 million of such fees for the Essential Air Service (EAS)
program and rural airport improvements. In addition, the FAA Modernization and Reauthorization Act (P.L. 112–95) requires
that, in any fiscal year, overflight fees collected in excess of $50 million will be available to carry out the EAS program.

The FY 2015 Budget presents the Office of the Secretary's proposed reauthorization program and account structure, including
the creation of a new National Infrastructure Investments account, also known as the Transportation Investment Generating
Economic Recovery (TIGER) program. The Administration proposes to fund this account from the Multimodal Account of the Transportation
Trust Fund. The FY 2015 Budget request includes $1.25 billion for this account. For FY 2015, this account provides funding
for grant awards or credit assistance on a competitive basis for capital investments in surface transportation infrastructure
that will have a significant impact on the Nation, a metropolitan area or a region.
The Administration proposes to move a number of current General Fund programs into the Transportation Trust Fund, as part
of the surface transportation reauthorization. Amounts reflected in this schedule represent the new mandatory contract authority
and outlays supporting these programs. PAYGO costs will be calculated as the change between these amounts and reclassified
baseline amounts in the existing General Fund accounts.

Through 1997, the Essential Air Service program was funded from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund. Starting in 1998, the Federal
Aviation Administration reauthorization funded it as a mandatory program supported by overflight fees under the Essential
Air Service and Rural Airport Improvement Fund. In addition to mandatory funding supported by overflight fees, direct appropriations
from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund to Payments to Air Carriers have been enacted every year beginning in 2002 to meet
the needs of the essential air service program. For FY 2015, $155 million is requested from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund
for Payments to Air Carriers.

For 2015, the Budget requests $9,750 million for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) operations. These funds will be used
to continue to promote aviation safety and efficiency. The Budget provides funding for the Air Traffic Organization (ATO)
which is responsible for managing the air traffic control system. As a performance-based organization, the ATO is designed
to provide cost-effective, efficient, and, above all, safe air traffic services. The Budget also funds the Aviation Safety
Organization which ensures the safe operation of the airlines and certifies new aviation products. In addition, the request
also funds regulation of the commercial space transportation industry, as well as FAA policy oversight and overall management
functions.

The Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 (P.L. 104–264) authorized the collection of user fees for air traffic control
and related services provided by the Federal Aviation Administration to aircraft that neither take off nor land in the United
States, commonly known as overflight fees. The Budget estimates that $92 million in overflight fees will be collected in 2015.

The fund provides direct support for the aviation insurance program (chapter 443 of title 49, U.S. Code). Income to the fund
is derived from premium collections for premium insurance coverage issued, income from authorized investments, and filing
fees for non-premium coverage issued. The non-premium program provides aviation insurance coverage for aircraft used in connection
with certain Government contract operations by a Department or Agency that agrees to indemnify the Secretary of Transportation
for any losses covered by the insurance. The premium program provides war risk insurance coverage at a premium based on activity.
The Homeland Security Act of 2002 (P.L. 107–296) added a provision to require the Secretary to provide additional premium
war risk insurance coverage (hull loss or damage and passenger and crew liability) to air carriers insured for third party
war risk liability on November 25, 2002. The premium war risk insurance policy covers: (i) hull losses at agreed value; (ii)
death, injury or property loss to passengers or crew, the limit being the same as the air carrier's commercial coverage as
of November 25, 2002; and (iii) third party liability. Current premiums are capped, and FAA does not collect enough premiums
to cover its potential risk. The Budget includes outlays reflecting probabilistic estimates of losses for the aviation war
risk insurance program. The authority to provide aviation war risk insurance expires on September 30, 2014. The Administration
plans to submit a legislative proposal to reform the Aviation War Risk Insurance Program. The Administration's reform proposal
will request permanent authority that will not require a future reauthorization. The legislative proposal returns U.S. air
carriers to the commercial aviation insurance market for most of their terrorism and war risk insurance coverage. However,
the U.S. Government will continue to provide coverage for losses associated with terrorist attacks involving the use of nuclear,
bio- and/or radioactive (NBCR) weapons, as this coverage is not commercially available. Under the proposal, the Administration
will charge a premium commensurate with the financial risk being assumed for the NBCR coverage. For this reason, this proposal
is largely budget neutral. The proposal will also allow the Administration to react immediately to future market failures,
if any, by providing the Secretary of Transportation with authority to provide full aviation war risk insurance for ninety
(90) days in the event of a widespread cancellation of coverage by the private insurance market, similar to the one experienced
immediately following the attacks of September 11, 2001. In addition, the proposal will extend the "Non-Premium War Risk Insurance
Program" that ensures air carriers can obtain the necessary insurance to operate under Department of Defense contracts in
support of national defense.

Section 9502 of Title 26, U.S. Code, provides for amounts equivalent to the funds received in the U.S. Treasury for the passenger
ticket tax and certain other taxes paid by airport and airway users to be transferred to the Airport and Airway Trust Fund.
In turn, appropriations are authorized from this fund to meet obligations for airport improvement grants, Federal Aviation
Administration facilities and equipment, research, operations, payment to air carriers, and for the Bureau of Transportation
Statistics Office of Airline Information.
To more equitably distribute the cost of air traffic services across the aviation user community, the Administration proposes
to establish a new surcharge for air traffic services of $100 per flight. Military aircraft, public aircraft, piston aircraft,
air ambulances, aircraft operating outside of controlled airspace, and Canada-to-Canada flights would be exempt. The revenues
generated by the surcharge would be deposited into the Airport and Airway Trust Fund. The surcharge would be effective for
flights beginning after September 30, 2014.
The status of the fund is as follows:

Subchapter I of chapter 471, title 49, U.S. Code provides for airport improvement grants, including those emphasizing capacity
development, safety and security needs; and chapter 475 of title 49 provides for grants for aircraft noise compatibility planning
and programs. The FY 2015 budget request proposes to lower funding for the airport grants program to $2.9 billion, offset
in part by eliminating passenger and cargo entitlement funding for large hub airports. To assist those airports that need
the most help, the Administration proposes to focus Federal grants to support smaller commercial and general aviation airports
that do not have access to additional revenue or other outside sources of capital. The Budget also proposes to allow all commercial
service airports to increase the non-Federal Passenger Facility Charge, thereby giving airports greater flexibility to generate
their own revenue. The combination of these changes to the AIP and PFC programs will allow airports to effectively transition
to a reduced AIP level without hindering their ability to meet existing capital needs of the national airport system.

(Department of Transportation Appropriations Act, 2014.)
Federal Highway Administration
The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) provided two years of stable funding and has helped create
jobs, strengthened our transportation system, and grown our economy. However, MAP-21 will expire October 1, 2014. To spur
further economic growth and allow States to initiate sound multi-year investments, the 2015 Budget proposes a four-year, $302
billion surface transportation reauthorization package to support critical infrastructure projects and create jobs, while
improving America's roads, bridges, transit systems, and railways. The reauthorization proposal will also include reforms
to improve the review process and delivery of infrastructure projects; support American exports by improving movement within
the Nation's freight networks; increase economic mobility by linking economically isolated communities to job opportunities;
improve regional coordination by Metropolitan Planning Organizations to stimulate economic development; and advance the Climate
Action Plan by building more resilient infrastructure, and encouraging sounder transportation planning.
In summary, the 2015 Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Budget consists of $48,562 million in new budget authority and
$45,630 million in outlays (with both totals excluding transfers from the General Fund).
The following table reflects the total funding for all FHWA programs.

The Emergency Relief program receives $100 million annually in mandatory funds in the Federal-aid Highways account. The Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act of 2005: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU); and Moving Ahead for
Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), enacted July 6, 2012, authorized the program to receive additional General Fund
discretionary funding as needed. In 2012, $1,662 million was enacted to remain available until expended, and in 2013, $2,022
million was enacted to remain available until expended, both for necessary expenses resulting from major disasters declared
pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.).
No further appropriations are requested for this account in 2015.

Enacted on February 17, 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) provided $27.5 billion from
the General Fund to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), of which $26.6 billion was apportioned to States based on formulas
described in the Recovery Act and $0.9 billion was allocated to programs identified in the Recovery Act, including the Indian
Reservation Roads Program, Park Roads and Parkway Program, Forest Highway Program, Refuge Roads Program, Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise Bonding Assistance, Territorial Highway Program, Puerto Rico Highway Program, and the Ferry Boat Discretionary
Program. Administrative oversight funds were available through September 30, 2012, and all other funds were available through
September 30, 2010.
The FHWA Recovery Act funds have been used to invest in transportation, environmental protection, and other infrastructure
that will provide longer term economic benefits to the Nation. The Recovery Act funds, which augmented existing investments
authorized by the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act of 2005: A Legacy for Users, enabled States,
regional, and local governments to accelerate to completion a number of highway infrastructure projects planned or underway.
Since the Recovery Act was enacted in February 2009, more than 42,000 miles of pavement across the United States have been
improved. Of the 12,914 highway projects for which Recovery Act funds were obligated, 1,294 projects are under construction
and 11,620 projects have been completed.

The Office of the Secretary of Transportation (OST) received appropriations totaling $1,127 million for TIGER discretionary
grants as part of the 2010 and 2011 Department of Transportation (DOT) appropriations acts. The appropriations authorized
DOT to pay subsidy and administrative costs, not to exceed $300 million, of projects eligible for Federal credit assistance
under Chapter 6 of Title 23 United States Code. In 2012, $45 million was provided for TIGER discretionary grants as part of
the 2012 DOT appropriation act to pay subsidy and administrative costs. OST has delegated the authority to negotiate and administer
Transportation Infrastructure Finance Innovation Act of 1998 loans under this program to the Federal Highway Administration.
No further amounts are requested for 2015.

The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1968 authorized the establishment of a right-of-way revolving fund. This fund was used to make
cash advances to States for the purpose of purchasing right-of-way parcels in advance of highway construction and thereby
preventing the inflation of land prices from significantly increasing construction costs.
This program was terminated by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century of 1998 but will continue to be shown for
reporting purposes as loan balances remain outstanding. The purchase of right-of-way is an eligible expense of the Federal-Aid
Highway program.

The Highway Revenue Act of 1956, as amended, provides for the transfer from the General Fund to the Highway Trust Fund of
revenue from the motor fuel tax and certain other taxes paid by highway users. The Secretary of the Treasury estimates the
amounts to be transferred. In turn, appropriations are authorized from this fund to meet expenditures for Federal-aid highways
and other programs as specified by law. The Administration proposes to rename the Highway Trust Fund as the Transportation
Trust Fund, and create new Rail and Multimodal accounts to finance intercity passenger and freight rail investments, as well
as competitively awarded surface transportation grants.
The following Status of Funds table presents the status of the proposed Transportation Trust Fund.
Cash balances._The Status of Funds table begins with the unexpended balance on a "cash basis'' at the start of the year. The table shows
the amount of cash invested in Federal securities at par value and the amount of cash on hand, i.e., uninvested balance. Next,
the table provides the amounts of cash income and cash outlays during each year to show the cash balance at the end of each
year.
Revenues._The Budget presentation includes estimated receipts from existing Highway Trust Fund excise taxes, which would continue to
be deposited into the Highway and Mass Transit Accounts of the expanded Transportation Trust Fund in the same manner as current
law.
General Fund Transfers._The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (Public Law 112–141) authorized transfers into the Transportation Trust
Fund of $2.4 billion from the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Trust Fund in 2013, $6.2 billion from the General Fund
in 2013, and $12.6 billion from the General Fund in 2014. The Budget reflects these transfers less sequestration reductions,
and also proposes to transfer an additional $150 billion over four years into the Transportation Trust Fund to maintain trust
fund solvency and pay for increased outlays associated with the Administration's rail and surface transportation reauthorization
proposals. The $150 billion reinvests the transition revenue from pro-growth business tax reform to fully offset both baseline
solvency needs and the increased cost of the proposed reauthorization.

The Federal-aid Highways (FAH) program is designed to aid in the development, operations, and management of an intermodal
transportation system that is economically efficient, environmentally sound, provides the foundation for the Nation to compete
in the global economy, and moves people and goods safely. All programs included within FAH are proposed to be financed from
the Highway Account of the Transportation Trust Fund (currently the Highway Trust Fund), and most are distributed via apportionments
and allocations to States. Liquidating cash appropriations are subsequently requested to fund outlays resulting from obligations
incurred under contract authority.
The current authorization for Federal surface transportation programs (the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act,
or MAP-21) was enacted on July 6, 2012. MAP-21 provided two years of stable funding and has helped create jobs, strengthened
our transportation system, and grown our economy. However, MAP-21 will expire October 1, 2014. To spur further economic growth
and allow States to initiate sound multi-year investments, the 2015 Budget proposes a four-year, $302 billion surface transportation
reauthorization package to support critical infrastructure projects and create jobs, while improving America's roads, bridges,
transit systems, and railways. The reauthorization proposal will also include reforms to improve the review process and delivery
of infrastructure projects; support American exports by improving movement within the Nation's freight networks; increase
economic mobility by linking economically isolated communities to job opportunities; improve regional coordination by Metropolitan
Planning Organizations to stimulate economic development; and advance the Climate Action Plan by building more resilient infrastructure,
and encouraging sounder transportation planning.
The Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) 2015 budget consists of the following programs: Highway Safety Improvement Program;
National Highway Performance Program; Surface Transportation Program; Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program;
Metropolitan Transportation Planning Program; Transportation Alternatives Program; Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation
Programs; Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) Program; Freight Program; Critical Immediate Investments
Program; Research, Technology and Education Program; and Federal Allocation Programs.
Highway Safety Improvement Program._The performance-based Highway Safety Improvement Program ($2.5 billion) provides funding to significantly reduce traffic fatalities
and serious injuries on all public roads, including non-State-owned public roads and roads on Tribal land, and the program
is directly tied to the Department's safety goal and Roadway Safety Plan principles. The request represents a slight increase
over the MAP-21 2014 safety program. Improving roadway safety is a top priority of the Department, and has been designated
one of DOT's Agency Priority Goals. FHWA, through national leadership and innovation, focuses on improving the safety of roadway
infrastructure on all public roads. The program provides a data- and performance-driven strategic approach to improving traffic
safety to reduce fatalities and serious injuries. It strengthens coordination among all highway safety modes, including National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) safety programs in conjunction
with all Department safety initiatives. It continues the requirement that each State utilize a Strategic Highway Safety Plan.
This statewide, coordinated safety plan provides a comprehensive framework for establishing statewide goals, objectives, and
performance targets while ensuring the effective use of safety-focused funding.
National Highway Performance Program._The National Highway Performance Program ($22.3 billion) focuses significant Federal resources for the following purposes:
to support the condition and performance of the National Highway System (NHS); to support the construction of new facilities
on the NHS; and to ensure that investments of Federal-aid funds in highway construction support progress toward the achievement
of performance targets for the NHS. The program includes performance management features, holds States accountable for achieving
performance targets, and provides flexibility to States for making transportation investment decisions. It is a formula-based
program that provides funding to maintain and improve the NHS. MAP-21 redefined the NHS as a network composed of the Interstate
System, all principal arterials, intermodal connectors, and roads important to national defense. The redefined NHS now totals
approximately 220,000 miles. The NHS provides mobility to the vast majority of the Nation's population and almost all of its
commerce. It supports national defense and promotes intermodal connectivity. While NHS mileage accounts for a small portion
of the Nation's public road mileage, it carries 55 percent of all vehicular traffic and 97 percent of truck-borne freight.
While it comprises 53 percent of U.S. highway border crossings, it handles 98 percent of the value of total truck trade with
Canada and Mexico.
Surface Transportation Program._The Surface Transportation Program ($10.3 billion) provides flexible funding that may be used by States and localities for
projects to preserve and improve the condition and performance on any Federal-aid highway, bridges on any public road, and
transit capital projects, including intercity bus terminals. The flexible nature of this program allows States to direct funding
to areas of greatest need while also fostering innovation. This program gives State transportation agencies the ability to
target funding to State and local priorities. States will identify projects for funding in consultation with local transportation
officials in rural areas and in cooperation with the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) in metropolitan areas.
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program._The Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program ($2.3 billion) will help States, local governments, and
private-sector sponsors reduce highway congestion and harmful emissions, and assist many areas in reaching attainment of the
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), an environmental priority. The CMAQ program provides a flexible funding source
for State and local governments to fund transportation projects and programs that are designed to help localities meet the
requirements of the Clean Air Act and its amendments, and help reduce regional congestion on transportation networks. CMAQ
investments support transportation projects that are designed to reduce the emissions from mobile sources in areas that have
been designated as in nonattainment or in maintenance of the NAAQS by the Environmental Protection Agency. As in MAP-21, the
2015 program also places considerable emphasis on projects that reduce highway congestion.
Metropolitan Transportation Planning Program._The Metropolitan Transportation Planning Program ($320 million) provides funds for use by Metropolitan Planning Organizations
(MPOs) for multimodal transportation planning and programming in metropolitan areas. Metropolitan planning activities include:
the collection and analysis of data on demographics, trends, and system performance; travel demand and system performance
forecasting; identification and prioritization of transportation system improvement needs; and coordination of the planning
process and decision-making with the public, elected officials, and stakeholder groups.
Transportation Alternatives Program._The Transportation Alternatives Program ($836 million) supports the Department's strategic goal to improve quality of life
through policies and investments that increase transportation choices and access to transportation services. Eligible projects
include, but are not limited to, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and safety programs, scenic and historic highway programs,
landscaping and scenic beautification, historic preservation, and environmental mitigation.
Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation Programs._The Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation Programs ($1.3 billion) provide funding for transportation projects on Federal
and Tribal lands for construction and engineering projects that will: provide multi-modal access to basic community services
including safer all-weather access to schools and healthcare facilities for 566 federally-recognized sovereign Tribal governments;
improve multimodal access to recreational areas on public lands/national treasures; and expand economic development in and
around Federal and Tribal lands while preserving the environment and reducing congestion.
Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) Program._The TIFIA Program ($1.0 billion) provides contract authority for grant loan subsidies and administrative costs to assist with
funding nationally or regionally significant transportation projects. The TIFIA Program leverages Federal dollars in a time
of scarce budgetary resources, facilitating private participation in transportation projects and encouraging innovative financing
mechanisms that help advance projects sooner. This program offers flexible repayment terms and attracts private capital to
facilitate transportation projects that would otherwise go unfunded.
Research, Technology, and Education Program._The Research, Technology, and Education (RT&E) Program ($451 million) provides for a comprehensive, nationally-coordinated
research, technology, and education program that will advance the Department of Transportation's organizational goals, while
accelerating innovation delivery and technology implementation. The proposal carries forward the MAP-21 restructured FHWA
research, development and technology activities which include: a highway research and development program; a technology and
innovation deployment program; and a training and education activities program. The RT&E Program also supports activities
in the areas of safety, infrastructure preservation, operations, environmental sustainability, and policy. FHWA is in a unique
leadership position to identify and address issues that require high-risk, long-term research, and research on emerging issues
of national significance. FHWA's leadership role is necessary to build effective partnerships to maximize the investment in
the transportation system. The entire innovation lifecycle is covered under the RT&E Program umbrella from agenda setting
to the deployment of technologies and innovations.
Federal Allocation Programs._This categorization consists of funding ($502 million) for several important programs: Emergency Relief; Territorial and Puerto
Rico Highway Program; Construction of Ferry Boats and Ferry Terminal Facilities; On-the-Job Training; Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise; Highway Use Tax Evasion Projects; Other Safety-related Programs; Ladders of Opportunity; and Performance Management
Data Support Program. The Emergency Relief Program has been funded through a recurring annual authorization of $100 million
since 1972. Emergency Relief funding assists Federal, State, Tribal, and local governments with the expense of repairing serious
damage to Federal-aid, Tribal, and Federal Lands highways resulting from natural disasters or catastrophic failures. The Territorial
and Puerto Rico Highway Program provides funding for critical highway programs in Puerto Rico and the four territories of
American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the United States Virgin Islands. The Construction
of Ferry Boats and Ferry Terminal Facilities program provides funding for the construction of ferry boats and ferry terminal
facilities which will improve connectivity between NHS segments, provide travel mode options, and reduce congestion. The On-the-Job
Training program provides funding for developing, conducting, and administering surface transportation and technology training,
including skill improvement programs and job readiness. The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program provides funding for
developing, conducting, and administering training and assistance programs to increase the proficiency of minority businesses
to compete, on an equal basis, for contracts and subcontracts. The Highway Use Tax Evasion Projects program provides funding
to the Internal Revenue Service, other Federal agencies, and the States to carry out intergovernmental enforcement efforts
along with training and research to reduce evasion of payment of motor fuel and other highway use taxes, which are the principal
sources for Federal and State highway funding. Other Safety-related Programs provides funding for conducting transportation
safety outreach training and education activities. The Performance Management Data Support Program provides funding to assist
MPOs, States and the Department in carrying out the performance management requirements contained in Title 23, United States
Code, and enables FHWA to provide enhanced data and tools to assist States and MPOs in targeting operational and capital investments
strategically, and implement policies effectively in support of the national transportation system.
Freight Program._The President's Budget requests $1.0 billion for a new program providing a dedicated source of funding to improve the delivery
of freight projects, which will foster economic growth. This program offers a mechanism to solve project partnership and administration
challenges that have proven difficult to address through existing programs. The program will incentivize regional planning
by providing funding for multi-modal, multi-jurisdictional and corridor-based projects, and by requiring the development of
statewide freight plans with regional planning participation.
The Critical Immediate Investments Program (CIIP)._The President's Budget provides $4.9 billion as part of the "Fix-it-First" initiative to focus on the reconstruction, restoration,
rehabilitation, preservation or safety improvement of existing highway assets. The program will reduce the number of structurally
deficient Interstate Highway System (IHS) bridges, target safety investments where Federal infrastructure safety funds are
not frequently used and support a state of good repair on the National Highway System (NHS).

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) was established within the Department of Transportation by the Motor
Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 (P.L. 106–159). Prior to this legislation, motor carrier safety responsibilities were
under the jurisdiction of the Federal Highway Administration.
FMCSA's mission is to promote safe commercial motor vehicle operation and reduce truck and bus crashes. The agency accomplishes
this mission by reducing fatalities and property losses associated with commercial motor vehicles through education, regulation,
enforcement, and research and innovative technology, thereby achieving a safer and more secure transportation environment.
FMCSA is also responsible for enforcing Federal motor carrier safety and hazardous materials regulations for all commercial
vehicles entering the United States along its southern and northern borders.

Motor Carrier Safety Grants support States to conduct compliance reviews, identify and apprehend traffic violators, conduct
roadside inspections, and support safety audits on new entrant carriers. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)
also supports States by conducting training for State agency personnel to accomplish motor carrier safety objectives. In addition,
FMCSA reviews State commercial driver's license (CDL) oversight activities to prevent unqualified drivers from being issued
CDLs, and is initiating an Innovative Technology program to improve the safety and productivity of commercial vehicles and
drivers. The Motor Carriers Safety Grants account maintains the Agency's individual grants under the Compliance, Safety and
Accountability Program.

The Administration proposes to reclassify all surface transportation outlays as mandatory. This schedule reclassifies discretionary
outlays from obligation limitations as mandatory outlays from mandatory contract authority for the 2014 enacted levels. This
schedule also creates a new baseline of mandatory contract authority that is equal to the previous discretionary obligation
limitation baseline to calculate the spending increase above the baseline subject to PAYGO.

The Operations and Programs account provides the necessary resources to support program and administrative activities for
motor carrier safety. As proposed in the multi-year surface transportation authorization legislation, the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration (FMCSA) will continue to improve safety and reduce severe and fatal commercial motor vehicles crashes
by raising the bar to entry into the commercial motor vehicle industry, by requiring operators to maintain standards to remain
in the industry, and by removing high-risk carriers, vehicles, drivers and service providers from operation.
Funding supports nationwide motor carrier safety and consumer enforcement efforts, including the continuation of the Compliance,
Safety and Accountability Program; regulation and enforcement of movers of household goods, and Federal safety enforcement
activities at the borders to ensure that foreign-domiciled carriers entering the U.S. are in compliance with FMSCA Regulations.
Resources are also provided to fund regulatory development and implementation, information management, investment in research
and technology, safety outreach and education, and the safety and consumer telephone hotline. The FY 2015 funding request
reflects significant expansion of agency efforts to enhance motor coach safety.

The Vehicle Safety programs support activities to reduce highway fatalities, prevent injuries, and reduce their associated
economic toll by research into, and implementation of, Federal motor vehicle safety standards. NHTSA's research areas include
biomechanics, crash avoidance and mitigation technologies, and vehicle safety issues related to fuel efficiency and alternative
fuels. NHTSA's Operation and Research programs fund a broad range of initiatives, including promulgation of Federal motor
vehicle safety standards for motor vehicles and safety related equipment; automotive fuel economy standards required by the
Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007; international harmonization
of vehicle standards; and consumer information on motor vehicle safety, including the New Car Assessment Program. NHTSA conducts
compliance programs for motor vehicle safety and automotive fuel economy standards; investigations of safety-related motor
vehicle defects; enforcement of Federal odometer law; support of enforcement of State odometer law; and safety recalls when
warranted. Motor vehicle safety research and development supports NHTSA programs through the collection and analysis of crash
data to identify safety problems, development of alternative solutions, and assessments of costs, benefits, and effectiveness.
Research continues on standards and technologies to improve vehicle crashworthiness and crash avoidance, with emphasis on
reducing crashes through vehicle-to-vehicle communication system and active safety technologies.
No funds are requested in this account for 2015. The Administration is proposing funding for these programs within the multi-year
surface transportation reauthorization. As part of that reauthorization proposal, programs currently administered from this
account would be continued in an Operations and Research account that would be funded from the Highway Account of the Transportation
Trust Fund.

The 2015 Budget presents the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's proposed reauthorization program and account
structure, including the creation of a new Transportation Trust Fund account. The Administration proposes to fund this account
from the Highway Account of the Transportation Trust Fund.
The Highway Safety Research and Development programs support research, demonstrations, technical assistance, and national
leadership for highway safety programs conducted by State and local governments, and various safety associations and organizations.
This program emphasizes alcohol and drug countermeasures, driver and passenger occupant protection, traffic enforcement and
justice services, emergency medical and trauma care systems, traffic records and licensing, State and community evaluation,
motorcycle rider safety, pedestrian and bicycle safety, pupil transportation, young and older driver safety, and development
of improved accident investigation procedures.
NHTSA will continue its efforts to further quantify the magnitude and nature of the emerging problem of distracted driving,
assess the impact of distraction on driver behavior and driving performance, and inform public attitudes and opinions about
distraction. In addition, NHTSA will continue to analyze the impact of product design on the potential for driver distraction,
and assess how to effectively manage driver workload to reduce distraction.
NHTSA will continue to operate the National Driver Register's Problem Driver Pointer System, which helps to identify drivers
who have been suspended for or convicted of serious traffic offenses, such as driving under the influence of alcohol or other
drugs. Finally, NHTSA will improve its vital data collection and analysis which form the basis of its research, rulemaking,
and performance measurement activities.

outlays from obligation limitations as mandatory outlays from mandatory contract authority for the 2014 enacted levels. This
schedule also creates a new baseline of mandatory contract authority that is equal to the previous discretionary obligation
limitation baseline to calculate the spending increase above the baseline subject to PAYGO.

The 2015 Budget presents the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's proposed reauthorization program and account
structure, including the creation of a new Transportation Trust Fund account. The Administration proposes to fund this account
from the Highway Account of the Transportation Trust Fund.
NHTSA provides grants to States for activities related to the promotion of highway traffic safety. Contingent upon enactment
of multi-year surface transportation authorization legislation, the agency would receive $577,000,000 for these grant programs
to remain available until expended. Under Section 402, the agency supports State highway safety programs, approved by the
Secretary, which are designed to reduce traffic accidents and the resulting deaths, injuries and property damage. The agency
will continue to implement and promote the use of performance measures and targets as a condition of approval in these programs
and to ensure efficient and effective use of funds. The agency also will use dedicated funds from the program to support high
visibility enforcement campaigns in the States that promote the use of seat belts and the reduction of drunk driving. Under
Section 405, the agency will make grant awards to States that focus on specific national priority traffic safety areas aimed
at reducing highway deaths and injuries. The agency will make grants to States that develop qualifying plans and complying
laws in accordance with the statutory criteria. The focus areas under the grant program support occupant protection, state
traffic safety information system improvements, impaired driving countermeasures, distracted driving, motorcyclist safety,
and state graduated driving licensing programs.

The Administration proposes to reclassify all surface transportation outlays as mandatory. This schedule reclassifies discretionary
outlays from obligation limitations as mandatory outlays from mandatory contract authority for the 2014 enacted levels. This
schedule also creates a new baseline of mandatory contract authority that is equal to the previous discretionary obligation
limitation baseline to calculate the spending increase above the baseline subject to PAYGO.

Funding requested in the Railroad Research and Development Program provides science and technology support for the Federal
Railroad Administration's rail safety rulemaking and enforcement efforts. It also identifies and develops emerging technologies
for the rail industry to adopt voluntarily. In addition to improving safety, the program contributes significantly towards
achieving the Department of Transportation's (DOT) other strategic goals, e.g., state of good repair. The program focuses
on the following areas of research:
Track Program._To reduce derailments due to track related causes.
Rolling Stock Program._To reduce derailments due to equipment failures, to minimize the consequences of derailments, and to minimize hazardous material
releases.
Train Control and Communication._To reduce train collisions by facilitating the implementation of Positive Train Control and to reduce highway-rail grade crossing
and trespass accidents.
Human Factors Program._To reduce accidents caused by human error.
Railroad System Issues Program._To prioritize research and development projects on the basis of relevance to safety risk reduction and other DOT goals.

Funds are used to redevelop the Pennsylvania Station in New York City, which involves renovating the James A. Farley Post
Office building. Funding for this project was included in the Grants to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation appropriation
in 1995 through 1997, and the Northeast Corridor Improvement Program in 1998. In 2000, FRA received an advance appropriation
of $20 million for 2001, 2002, and 2003. In 2001, the Congress specified that the $20 million advance appropriation for the
Farley Building be used exclusively for fire and life safety initiatives. No new funds are requested for this program in fiscal
year 2015.

The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) was established in 1970 through the Rail Passenger Service Act. Amtrak
is operated and managed as a for-profit corporation with all Board members appointed by the President, with the advice and
consent of the Senate. Amtrak is not an agency or instrument of the U.S. Government, although since the railroad's creation
FRA has provided it annual grants for operating and capital costs.
Prior to 2006, FRA received annual appropriations in this account for grants to Amtrak. Since that time, FRA has received
individual appropriations for capital, operating, and efficiency incentive grants.
In addition, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) provided $1.3 billion to Amtrak for capital
grants, of which $450 million was for improving security and $850 million was for improving infrastructure.
In FY 2013, FRA received $112 million in this account from the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of FY 2013 (P.L. 113–2)
to fund Amtrak's recovery from Superstorm Sandy, including $30 million for repair work and $81 million for disaster mitigation
projects. FRA also received a $185 million transfer from the Federal Transit Administration for the Hudson Yards disaster
resiliency project in New York City.

No funds are requested for this account in 2015. The Administration is proposing funding for these programs within multi-year
surface transportation reauthorization. As part of that reauthorization proposal, programs currently administered from this
account would be continued in a new Current Passenger Rail Service account that would be funded from the Rail Account of the
Transportation Trust Fund.

The Administration proposes to reclassify all surface transportation outlays as mandatory, and to also move a number of current
General Fund programs into the Rail Account of the Transportation Trust Fund. This schedule reclassifies 2014 enacted and
baseline budget authority and outlays as mandatory for comparability purposes and to calculate the spending increase above
the baseline subject to PAYGO.

The Administration proposes to reclassify all surface transportation outlays as mandatory, and to also move a number of current

mandatory budget authority downward so that the proposal properly accounts for requested program growth in the new trust fund
accounts.
Capital and Debt Service Grants to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation

This competitive grant program encourages state participation in passenger rail service. Under this program, a State or States
may apply for grants for up to 50 percent of the cost of capital investments necessary to support improved intercity passenger
rail service that either requires no operating subsidy or for which the State or States agree to provide any needed operating
subsidy. To qualify for funding, States must include intercity passenger rail service as an integral part of statewide transportation
planning as required under 23 U.S.C. 135. Additionally, the specific project must be on the Statewide Transportation Improvement
Plan at the time of application.
No new funds are requested for this program in fiscal year 2015.

The Railroad Safety Technology Program is a competitive grant program for the deployment of train control technologies to
passenger and freight rail carriers, railroad suppliers, and State and local governments. Projects may include the deployment
of train control technologies, train control component technologies, processor-based technologies, electronically controlled
pneumatic brakes, rail integrity inspection systems, rail integrity warning systems, switch position indicators and monitors,
remote control power switch technologies, track integrity circuit technologies, and other new technologies that improve the
safety of railroad systems.
FRA has given priority to projects that make technologies interoperable between railroad systems; accelerate the deployment
of train control technology on high risk corridors, such as those that have high volumes of hazardous materials shipments,
or over which commuter or passenger trains operate; or benefit both passenger and freight safety and efficiency.
No new funds are requested in this account for fiscal year 2015.

The FY 2015 budget presents the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) proposed reauthorization program account structure,
including the creation of a new Current Passenger Rail Service account. The Administration proposes to fund this account from
the Rail Account of the Transportation Trust Fund (TTF).
Through the Current Passenger Rail Service program, FRA will make grants to ensure passenger rail assets are maintained to
provide safe reliable life-cycle service, as well as to continue operating long-distance train services. The FY 2015 budget
request includes $2.45 billion for this account, a significant portion of which will be dedicated to "Fix-it-First" activities
such as clearing the backlog of state of good repair needs on the Nation's rail system. This program consists of five areas:
Northeast Corridor._$550 million to bring Northeast Corridor infrastructure and equipment into a state of good repair, thus enabling future growth
and service improvement.
State Corridors._$225 million to replace obsolete equipment on State-supported corridors and to facilitate efficient transition to financial
control for these corridors to States. This program area is temporary, and will be phased out by FY 2018 as these transitional
activites are completed.
Long-Distance Routes._$850 million to continue operations of the Nation's important long-distance routes.
National Assets, Legacy Debt, and Amtrak Positive Train Control._$475 million to improve efficiency of the Nation's "backbone" rail facilities, make payments on Amtrak's legacy debt, and
implement Positive Train Control (PTC) on Amtrak routes.
Stations—American's with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance._$350 million to bring stations into compliance with requirements of the ADA. This program area is temporary, and will be phased
out by FY 2018 as these transitional activities are completed.
The Administration proposes to move a number of current General Fund programs into the Transportation Trust Fund, as part
of surface transportation reauthorization. Amounts reflected in this schedule represent the new mandatory contract authority
and outlays supporting these programs. PAYGO costs will be calculated as the change between these amounts and reclassified
baseline amounts in the existing General Fund accounts.

The 2015 Budget presents the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) proposed reauthorization program and account structure,
including the creation of a new Rail Service Improvement Program account. The Administration proposes to fund this account
from the Rail Account of the Transportation Trust Fund (TTF).
Through this account, FRA will make grants to develop high-performance rail networks throughout the U.S.; to fund Positive
Train Control for commuter railroads; and to support network planning and workforce development. The FY 2015 budget request
includes $2.325 billion for this account. This program consists of four areas:
Passenger Corridors.—$1,300 million to develop high-performance rail networks through construction of new corridors, substantial improvements to
existing corridors, and mitigation of passenger train congestion at critical "chokepoints."
Commuter Railroads Positive Train Control (PTC) Compliance.—$825 million to implement PTC systems on commuter railroads. This program area is temporary, and will be phased out by FY
2018 as these transitional activities are completed.
Local Rail Facilities and Safety.—$125 million to help mitigate the impact of rail in local communities through rail line relocation, grade crossing enhancements,
and investments in short line railroad infrastructure.
Planning and Workforce.—$75 million to develop comprehensive plans that will guide future investments in the Nation's rail system and to develop
the workforce and technology necessary for advancing America's rail industry.
The Administration proposes to move a number of current General Fund Programs into the Transportation Trust Fund, as part
of surface transportation reauthorization. Amounts reflected in this schedule represent the new mandatory contract authority
and outlays supporting these programs. PAYGO cost will be calculated as the change between these amounts and reclassified
baseline amounts in the existing General Fund accounts.

Department of an amount to be determined by the Secretary.]SEC. [153]152. None of the funds provided to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation may be used to fund any overtime costs in excess
of $35,000 for any individual employee: Provided, That the president of Amtrak may waive the cap set in the previous proviso for specific employees when the president of
Amtrak determines such a cap poses a risk to the safety and operational efficiency of the system: Provided further, That Amtrak shall notify the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations [each quarter of the calendar year on waivers granted to employees and amounts paid above the cap for each month within such
quarter and delineate the reasons each waiver was granted: Provided further, That Amtrak shall provide to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations by March 17, 2014, a summary of all overtime
payments incurred by the Corporation for 2013 and the two prior calendar years: Provided further, That such summary shall include the total number of employees that received waivers and the total overtime payments the
Corporation paid to those employees receiving waivers for each month for 2013 and for the two prior calendar years] within 30 days of waiving such cap and delineate the reasons for such waiver.[SEC. 154. Of the funds made available under Public Law 113–2 under the heading "Federal Railroad Administration, Grants to the National
Railroad Passenger Corporation'', the second proviso is amended by deleting "or any other Act''.] (Department of Transportation Appropriations Act, 2014.)
Federal Transit Administration
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) provides grant funding to State and local governments, public and private transit
operators and other recipients to enhance public transportation across the United States. FTA programs fund the construction
of new public transit systems, purchase and maintain transit vehicles and equipment, subsidize limited public transit operations,
support regional transportation planning efforts, and improve technology and service methods critical to the delivery of public
transportation. In 2013, FTA's programs were significantly changed by passage of a new surface transportation authorization
law—Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21). MAP-21 provided new authority to strengthen public transportation
safety and provided a renewed focus on reinvesting in and modernizing transit assets to help bring transit systems throughout
the country into a state of good repair.
FTA's budget proposal structures agency programs and accounts consistent with a reauthorization of MAP-21, with some new areas
of emphasis such as capital investments for growing communities and expanded workforce development activities. The Administration
proposes $17.6 billion for FTA in 2015. This proposal includes $13.9 billion to support FTA's base formula programs that provide
assistance to transit agencies in both urban and rural areas, with an additional investment in programs improving the state
of good repair of rail transit and recapitalizing bus and bus facilities. The Administration proposes $2.5 billion in new
budget authority for Capital Investment Grants, to support new fixed guideway investments (New Starts and Small Starts) as
well as projects aimed at improving or restoring the core capacity of existing fixed guideway systems. In addition, the Administration
proposes $500 million for a new program to support the development of bus rapid transit services in fast growing areas.
The Administration's proposal demonstrates a strong commitment to build on the strengths of MAP-21 to improve the condition
and safety of transit while enhancing economic opportunities and quality of life for all Americans. The table below presents
actual funding enacted for 2013and 2014 and the requested 2015 funding. Note that the 2015 Budget proposes renaming the Highway
Trust Fund the Transportation Trust Fund. Additional detail is provided in the program budget schedules that follow.

The Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Administrative Expenses appropriation provides resources for salaries, benefits
and administrative expenses to carry out the Agency's stewardship of Federal funds, including: technical assistance to grantees
during project development and program implementation, capital project oversight and grantee compliance, staffing the Office
of Safety and Oversight to develop and administer a State Safety Oversight program funded through the Transit Formula Grants
account, and support for Transit Asset Management activities, which include developing objective standards to measure capital
asset condition and collecting data on the asset condition of FTA's grantees. The Administration proposes funding these programs
within a multi-year surface transportation reauthorization. As part of that reauthorization proposal, FTA administrative expenses
currently administered from this account would be funded from the Mass Transit Account of the Transportation Trust Fund within
the Transit Formula Grants account.

The Administration proposes to reclassify all surface transportation outlays as mandatory, and to also move a number of current
General Fund programs into the Transportation Trust Fund. This schedule reclassifies 2014 enacted and baseline budget authority
and outlays as mandatory for comparability purposes; and, to calculate the spending increase above the baseline subject to
PAYGO.

The Administration proposes to reclassify all surface transportation outlays as mandatory, and to also move a number of current

mandatory budget authority downward so that the proposal properly accounts for requested program growth in the new trust fund
accounts.

The Federal Rail Safety Improvements Act, 2008, (P.L. 110–432, Title VI, Sec. 601), provided authorization for capital and
preventive maintenance projects for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). Funding will help WMATA address
its reinvestment and maintenance backlog to improve the safety and reliability of service and to expand existing system capacity
to meet growing demand. The Secretary will use his authority to approve grants under this program to ensure that available
funds first address WMATA's most critical safety needs.

Initiated within the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, this program provided grants to public transit agencies
for capital investments to reduce the energy consumption or greenhouse gas emissions of their public transportation operations.
Activities have not been funded in this account since 2011. This schedule shows the obligations and outlays of funding made
available for this program in fiscal years prior to 2012. In 2015, projects to increase energy efficiency and decrease greenhouse
gas emissions can be funded with Urbanized Area Formula grants and Rural Area Formula grants.

The Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Capital Investment Grants program is designed to increase the capacity of local
transit networks and to meet ridership demands in communities across the nation. These objectives of this program are accomplished
by supporting the construction of new fixed guideway systems or extensions to fixed guideways, corridor-based bus rapid transit
systems, and core capacity improvement projects. These projects include heavy rail, light rail, commuter rail, bus rapid transit,
ferries, and streetcar systems. FTA allocates resources to grantees through a multi-year, multi-step competitive process.
Prior to funding, each project is required to obtain an acceptable rating under a set of statutorily defined criteria that
examine project merit and local financial commitment. The Administration is proposing to fund the Capital Investment Grants
program within a multi-year surface transportation reauthorization. As part of that reauthorization proposal, programs currently
administered from this account would be funded from the Mass Transit Account of the Transportation Trust Fund.

The Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program helps transit agencies restore needed transportation services immediately
following disaster events. Both capital and operating costs are eligible for funding following an emergency; however, this
program does not replace the Federal Emergency Management Agency's capital assistance program. FTA administers the 2013 $10.9
billion supplemental appropriation (adjusted to $10.2 billion after sequestration and the transfer of funds to the Office
of the Inspector General and the Federal Railroad Administration) provided by the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013
(Public Law 113–2) following Hurricane Sandy through this account. The Hurricane Sandy funds are only available for emergency
relief, recovery and resiliency projects in the areas impacted by Hurricane Sandy. No funds are requested in this account
for 2015. The Administration is proposing to fund this program within a multi-year surface transportation reauthorization.
As part of the reauthorization proposal, funding from this account will be funded from the Mass Transit Account of the Transportation
Trust Fund.

The Technical Assistance and Standard Development program enables FTA to provide technical assistance to the public transportation
industry and to develop standards for transit service provision, with an emphasis on improving access for all individuals
and transportation equity. Through this program, FTA is able to assist grantees to more effectively and efficiently provide
public transportation and administer Federal funding in compliance with the law. No funds are requested in this account for
FY 2015. The Administration is proposing funding for this program within multi-year surface transportation reauthorization.
As part of that reauthorization proposal, programs currently administered from this account would be continued in a new Transit
Research and Training account that would be funded from the Mass Transit Account of the Transportation Trust Fund.

The Administration proposes to reclassify all surface transportation outlays as mandatory, and to also move a number of current
General Fund programs into the Transportation Trust Fund. The negative figures in this schedule are necessary to adjust the
mandatory budget authority downward so that the proposal properly accounts for requested program growth in the new trust fund
accounts.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provided $6.9 billion to fund transit capital assistance to create jobs
to bolster the American economy. Transit capital assistance was provided through urbanized area formula grants, non-urbanized
area formula grants, and discretionary Tribal Transit grants. Funds were used for eligible capital projects, preventive maintenance,
and to purchase buses and rail rolling stock. Funds were also used for a new discretionary grant program, Transportation Investments
in Greenhouse Gas and Energy Reduction, to increase the use of environmentally sustainable operations in the public transportation
sector. This schedule shows the obligation and outlay of remaining amounts made available for administration and oversight
of these formula apportionments and discretionary grant awards and the associated capital and preventive maintenance projects
and vehicle procurements.

The 2015 Budget presents the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) proposed reauthorization program and account structure,
including the creation of a new Capital Investment Grants account. The Administration proposes to fund this account from the
Mass Transit Account of the Transportation Trust Fund.
The FY 2015 Budget includes $2.5 billion for the Capital Investment Grants program to increase the capacity of the nation's
transit network and meet ridership demands in many communities. This is accomplished by supporting the construction of new
fixed guideway systems or extensions to fixed guideways, corridor-based bus rapid transit systems, and core capacity improvement
projects. These projects include heavy rail, light rail, commuter rail, bus rapid transit, ferries, and streetcar systems
that are administered by communities across the country. FTA allocates resources to grantees through a multi-year, multi-step
competitive process. Prior to funding, each project is required to obtain an acceptable rating under a set of statutorily
defined criteria that examine project merit and local financial commitment.
The Administration proposes to move a number of current General Fund programs into the Transportation Trust Fund, as part
of surface transportation reauthorization. Amounts reflected in this schedule represent the new mandatory contract authority
and outlays supporting these programs. PAYGO costs will be calculated as the change between these amounts and reclassified
baseline amounts in the existing General Fund accounts.

The FY 2015 Budget presents FTA's program authorization and account structure, including the creation of a new account for
the Rapid Growth Area Bus Rapid Transit Corridor Program. The Administration proposed to fund this account from the Mass Transit
Account of the Transportation Trust Fund. This newly proposed discretionary grants program will support the mobility needs
of fast growing cities across the country to get ahead of transportation problems during early periods of population and economic
growth. This program is designed to quickly put Federal funds to work in these communities and support intelligent infrastructure
investment by encouraging multi-modal approaches to transportation planning.
This program helps transit agencies restore needed transportation services immediately following disaster events. Both capital
and operating costs are elegible for funding following an emergency; however, this program does not replace the Federal Emergency
Management Agency's capital assistance program. FTA administers the FY 2013 $10.9 billion supplemental appropriation (adjusted
to $10.2 billion after sequestration and the transfer of funds to the Office of the Inspector General and the Federal Railroad
Administration) provided by the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013 (Public Law 113–2) following Hurricane Sandy through
this account. The Hurricane Sandy funds are only available for emergency relief, recovery and resiliency projects in the areas
impacted by Hurricane Sandy. The emergency funding for Hurricane Sandy relief was appropriated from the General Fund.

The FY 2015 Budget presents FTA's proposed reauthorization program and account structure, including the creation of a new
Transit Research and Training account. The Administration proposes to fund this account from the Mass Transit Account of the
Transportation Trust Fund. The FY 2015 Budget request includes $60 million for this account. For 2015, this account's programs
include:
Research.—$26 million. This program supports research activities that improve the safety, reliability, efficiency, and sustainability
of public transportation by investing in the development, testing, and deployment of innovative technologies, materials, and
processes.
Transit Cooperative Research Program.—$7 million. This program provides funding to the National Academy of Sciences to conduct investigative research on subjects
related to public transportation.
Technical Assistance.—$7 million. This program enables FTA to provide technical assistance to the public transportation industry, with an emphasis
on improving access and transportation equity for all individuals. Through this program, FTA is able to assist grantees to
more effectively and efficiently provide public transportation and to administer Federal funding in compliance with the law.
Human Resources and Training.—$20 million. This program enables FTA to carry out human resource and training activities within the transit industry, as
well as to establish a competitive workforce development grant program. FTA's goal is to improve the skill-sets, knowledge,
and abilities of transit industry employees that operate increasingly complex vehicle and equipment systems as well as building
new pathways into the transit industry for job-seekers.
The Administration proposes to move a number of current General Fund programs into the Transportation Trust Fund, as part
of surface transportation reauthorization. Amounts reflected in this schedule represent the new mandatory contract authority
and outlays supporting these programs. PAYGO costs will be calculated as the change between these amounts and reclassified
baseline amounts in the existing General Fund accounts.

FTA's 2015 budget request builds upon the successes of the previous authorization, MAP-21, which provided two years of stable
funding for transit programs. The account structure is generally comparable to FTA's funding under MAP-21. The Transit Formula
Grants account is funded from the Mass Transit Account of the Transportation Trust Fund.
Transit Formula Grants funds can be used for transit capital purposes including bus and rail car purchases, facility repair
and construction, as well as maintenance, and where eligible, planning and operating expenses. These funds help existing transit
systems provide safe and reliable transportation options, and promote economically vibrant communities. The 2015 Budget request
includes $13.914 billion for Transit Formula Grants. The 2015 formula grant program structure includes:
Urbanized Area Formula._$4.563 billion. For formula grants to urbanized areas with populations of 50,000 or more. Funds may be used for any transit
capital purpose. Operating costs continue to be eligible expenses for all urban areas under 200,000 in population; and, in
certain circumstances, operating costs may be eligible expenses in urban areas with populations over 200,000. Additionally,
Urbanized Area grants may be used to support Job Access and Reverse Commute activities.
State Safety Oversight Program._$23 million. Each State with rail systems not regulated by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) will meet requirements
for a State Safety Oversight (SSO) program. To aid grantees in meeting new requirements, funding will be provided by a formula
developed by FTA based on revenue miles, route miles, and passenger miles. The maximum Federal share for these grants is 80
percent.
State of Good Repair Grants._$5.719 billion. For a formula-based capital maintenance program to restore and replace aging transportation infrastructure
through reinvestment in existing fixed guideway systems and buses on high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes.
Rural Area Formula._$622 million. For formula grants to provide funds for capital, planning and operating assistance grants for transit service
implemented by States in rural areas with populations of less than 50,000. Funding may also be used to support intercity bus
service. Additionally, Rural Area grants may be used to support Job Access and Reverse Commute activities. Within this amount,
$30 million in formula funds and $5 million in discretionary grant funds will support the Public Transportation on Indian
Reservations program and $20 million will support the Appalachian Development Public Transportation Assistance Formula Program.
Growing States and High Density States._$538 million. For funds that are divided between the Urban and Rural Area programs based on the legislative funding formula
for this program.
Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities._$264 million. Supports local governments and public and private transportation providers that serve special needs of these
specific transit-dependent populations beyond traditional public transportation services, including complementary paratransit
service.
Bus and Bus Facilities Grants._$1.939 billion. For formula funding (70%) and discretionary funding (30%) to replace, rehabilitate, and purchase buses and
related equipment, and to construct bus-related facilities States may use these funds to supplement Urbanized Area and Rural
Area formula grant programs.
Bus Testing Facility._$3 million. Funding supports a facility where all new bus models purchased using FTA capital assistance will be tested for
compliance with performance standards for safety, structural integrity, reliability, performance (including braking performance)
maintainability, emissions, noise and fuel economy. FTA must develop a Pass/Fail rating system for buses. FTA grantees will
not be able use Federal funds to purchase buses that do not receive a "pass" rating.
Planning Programs._$132 million. Funding supports cooperative, continuous, and comprehensive transportation infrastructure investment planning.
The program requires that all Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), and States, develop performance-driven, outcome-based
transportation plans.
Transit Oriented Development Pilot._$10.2 million. This new pilot program funds planning for projects that support transit-oriented development associated with
new fixed-guideway and core capacity improvement projects.
National Transit Institute._$5 million. To fund projects that enable FTA to partner with higher education to develop and provide training and educational
programs to transit employees and others engaged in providing public transit services.
National Transit Data Base (NTD)._$4 million. For operation and maintenance of the NTD, a database of nationwide statistics on the transit industry, which FTA
is legally required to maintain under 49 U.S.C. 5335(a)(1)(2). NTD data serves as the basis for FTA formula grant apportionments
and is used to track the condition and performance of our Nation's transit infrastructure.
Administrative Expenses._$114.4 million. To fund salaries, benefits and administrative expenses to carry out the FTA's stewardship of federal funds.
FTA administrative expenses were provided in prior years in the Administrative Expenses account and funded from the General
Fund.

The Administration proposes to reclassify all surface transportation outlays as mandatory. This schedule reclassifies discretionary
outlays from obligation limitations as mandatory outlays from mandatory contract authority for the 2014 enacted levels. This
schedule also creates a new baseline of mandatory contract authority that is equal to the previous discretionary obligation
limitation baseline to calculate the spending increase above the baseline subject to PAYGO.

Federal hazardous material law (49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.) established a national registration program for shippers and carriers
of hazardous materials in 1992. The law also established collection of fees from registrants. These fees finance emergency
preparedness planning and training grants; development of training curriculum guidelines for emergency responders and technical
assistance to States, political subdivisions, and American Indian Tribes; publication and distribution of the Emergency Response
Guidebook; and administrative costs for operating the program.

The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 requires the preparation of spill response plans by operators that store, handle, or transport
oil to minimize the environmental impact of oil spills and to improve public and private sector response. The Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) reviews response plans submitted by operators of onshore oil pipelines to
ensure the plans comply with PHMSA regulations. These plans also must be regularly updated by the operator and submitted for
subsequent review by PHMSA. PHMSA also seeks to improve oil spill preparedness and response through data analysis, spill monitoring,
mapping pipelines in areas unusually sensitive to environmental damage, and advanced technologies to detect and prevent leaks
from hazardous liquid pipelines. These and related activities are funded in part by the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund.

The Surface Transportation Board (the Board) was created on January 1, 1996, by P.L. 104–88, the Interstate Commerce Commission
Termination Act of 1995 (ICCTA). The Board is specifically responsible for the regulation of the rail and pipeline industries
and certain non-licensing regulation of motor carriers and water carriers.
Rail Carriers._This regulatory oversight encompasses the regulation of rates, mergers and acquisitions, construction, and abandonment of
railroad lines, as well as the planning, analysis, and policy development associated with these activities.
Other Surface Transportation Carriers._This regulatory oversight includes certain regulation of the intercity bus industry and surface pipeline carriers as well
as the rate regulation of water transportation in non-contiguous domestic trade, household-good carriers, and collectively
determined motor rates.
Fiscal Year 2015 Program._$31,500,000 is requested to implement rulemakings and adjudicate the ongoing caseload within the directives and deadlines
set forth by the ICCTA. This includes a request for $1,250,00 from offsetting collections of user fees.
The following paragraph is presented in compliance with Section 703 of the ICCTA. It is presented without change or correction.
The Board's Request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)._The Board had submitted to the Secretary of Transportation and the OMB a 2015 appropriation request of $34,411,000 and a request
that $1,250,000 from the offsetting collection of user fees be made available to the Board to operate at 170 full time equivalents.
The offsetting collection of user fees is based on the costs incurred by the Board for fee-related activities and is commensurate
with the costs of processing parties' submissions. In past fiscal years, the Board received both an appropriation and authorization
for offsetting collections to be made available to the appropriation for the Board's expenses. The 2015 Budget request reflects
offsetting collections as a credit to the appropriation received, to the extent that they are collected.
This level of funding is necessary to implement rulemakings and adjudicate the ongoing caseload within the deadlines imposed
by ICCTA. The Board requires adequate resources to perform key functions under the ICCTA, including rail rate reasonableness
oversight; the processing of rail consolidations, abandonments, and other restructuring proposals; and the resolution of non-rail
matters. This request also includes staffing and resources required to implement the Board's expanded jurisdiction with respect
to regulation of passenger rail service under the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (P.L. No. 110–432)
and the enhancement of the Board's audit program to monitor the financial condition of the Nation's railroads.

The Maritime Security Program provides direct payments to U.S. flag ship operators engaged in foreign commerce to partially
offset the higher operating costs of U.S. registry. The purpose of the program is to establish and sustain a fleet of active
ships that are privately owned, commercially viable, and militarily useful to meet national defense and other emergency sealift
requirements. Participating operators are required to make their ships and commercial transportation resources available upon
request by the Secretary of Defense during times of war or national emergency. Commercial transportation resources include
ships, logistics management services, port terminal facilities, and U.S. citizen merchant mariners to crew both commercial
and government-owned merchant ships. The 2015 Budget proposes international food aid reform that would increase flexibility
within P.L. 480 Title II emergency programs, which could, over time, reduce overall volumes of agricultural commodities available
for transport on U.S.-flag vessels. Therefore, the Budget requests an additional $25 million, as a component of this reform,
for support to mariners and vessel operators in foreign trade and to accelerate the training and credentialing of mariners
in occupations deemed critical to sustain a balanced and capable U.S. citizen merchant marine.

Pursuant to 46 U.S.C. 55316, mandatory borrowing authority was provided for MARAD to finance reimbursements through the USDA
Commodity Credit Corporation incurred by USDA and USAID for certain ocean freight cost differentials to transport humanitarian
food aid cargoes on U.S.-flag vessels instead of on lower cost foreign-flag vessels. Public Law 112–141, the Moving Ahead
for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP 21), eliminated the requirement for the incremental freight differential reimbursement
by reducing the U.S. flag cargo preference requirement for humanitarian food aid commodities transported internationally from
75 percent to 50 percent. Public Law 113–76, H.J. Res. 59, The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, repealed MARAD's mandatory borrowing
authority, eliminating funding for the 20 percent Excess Cost Differential reimbursement, a program created reimburse USDA
and USAID when the cost of ocean transportation and ocean freight differential exceeded 20 percent of the total cost of the
commodity being shipped. As a result of these two legislative actions, in FY 2015, there are no ocean freight differential
reimbursement requirements.

The Maritime Guaranteed Loan (Title XI) program provides for a full faith and credit guarantee of debt obligations issued
by U.S or foreign ship owners to finance or refinance the construction, reconstruction, or reconditioning of U.S.-flag vessels
or eligible export vessels in U.S. shipyards; or for a full faith and credit guarantee of debt obligations issued by U.S.
