The National Surface Transportation and Innovative Finance Bureau (the Bureau) fulfills a number of specific responsibilities, including the following: provide assistance and communicate best practices and financing and funding opportunities to entities eligible under DOT infrastructure finance programs; administer the application process for DOT infrastructure finance programs; administer the application process for the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) grant program; reduce uncertainty and delays related to environmental reviews and permitting, as well as project delivery and procurement risks, and costs for projects financed by the DOT infrastructure finance programs and INFRA; increase transparency and the public availability of information regarding projects financed by the DOT infrastructure finance programs and INFRA; and promote best practices in procurement for projects financed by the DOT infrastructure finance programs and the INFRA program by developing benchmarks related to procurement. To assist with establishing the Bureau, the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act provides the Secretary with certain authorities to redirect personnel and budgetary resources, if necessary, to support the establishment and effectiveness of the Bureau. These authorities were available for two years and expired in December 2017. The Administration is proposing extending these authorities for the term of the FAST Act, or any extension thereof to allow full implementation of the Bureau. In addition to the FAST Act-authorized consolidations, the Budget proposes to consolidate the Maritime Guaranteed Loan (Title XI) program under the Bureau as well, including open loans.

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 2019 Budget proposes to reform the EAS program.

Through 1997, the Essential Air Service (EAS) 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 EAS 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. The 2019 Budget proposes to reform the EAS program by adjusting the EAS eligibility based on driving distance to nearby airports; increasing the subsidy cap from $200 to $250 per passenger for EAS communities located within 210 miles from a large or medium hub airport; and eliminating the waiver for this requirement; and placing limits on the waiver authority for the 10-enplanement requirement.

The fund provides direct support for the aviation insurance program (chapter 443 of title 49, U.S. Code). In December 2014, the Congress sunset part of the aviation insurance program. Specifically, the Congress returned U.S. air carriers to the commercial aviation market for all of their war risk insurance coverage by ending the FAA's authority to provide war risk insurance for a premium. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 44305, the FAA may provide insurance without premium at the request of the Secretary of Defense, or the head of a department, agency, or instrumentality designated by the President, when the Secretary of Defense, or the designated head, agrees to indemnify the Secretary of Transportation against all losses covered by the insurance. The "non-premium" aviation insurance program is authorized through December 31, 2018.

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 augmented existing investments, authorized by the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act of 2005: A Legacy for Users, and enabled States as well as regional and local governments to accelerate the completion of 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. As of September 30, 2015, States have expended 100% of Recovery Act obligations. As of September 30, 2015, Recovery Act funds are cancelled and are no longer available for expenditure. 2018 includes upward and downward re-estimates, and interest on the re-estimates for the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation (TIFIA) Act program. No new budget authority is requested for 2019.

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. The purchase of right-of-way is an eligible expense of the Federal-Aid Highway program.

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. No new budgetary resources are requested in 2019.

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. To reflect the Highway Trust Fund's structural insolvency, the Budget presents an adjusted baseline that reflects the outlays that can be supported by available revenues, reducing outlays by $122 billion over the 10-year window. Per the Cash Management Improvement Act of 1990, this account reflects the net of State interest liability and adjusted Federal interest liability payments to or from States.

The following Status of Funds table presents the status of Highway 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 Highway Trust Fund in the same manner as current law.

General Fund Transfers.—The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act (Public Law 114–94) authorized the transfer into the Highway Trust Fund of $70.0 billion from the General Fund of the Treasury in 2016. This transfer was not subject to sequestration. The FAST Act authorized the transfer of $100 million into the Highway Trust Fund from the LUST Trust Fund in both 2017 and 2018. The 2017 and 2018 LUST Trust Fund transfers were subject to sequestration.

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 includedwithin the FAH program are proposed to be financed from the Highway Account of 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 Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) 2019 budget consists of the following programs: Highway Safety Improvement Program; National Highway Freight Program; National Highway Performance Program; Surface Transportation Block Grant Program; Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program; Metropolitan Transportation Planning Program; Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation Programs; Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects; Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) Program; Research, Technology and Education Program; and Federal Allocation Programs.

Highway Safety Improvement Program.—The Highway Safety Improvement Program ($2.6 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 lands. 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 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, 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. The Highway Safety Improvement Program includes a $240 million targeted set-aside for the Railway-Highway Crossings Program to reduce the number of fatalities, injuries, and crashes at public grade crossings.

National Highway Freight Program.—The National Highway Freight Program ($1.3 billion) is a formula program established by the FAST Act that provides States with necessary funds for vital projects that will improve the movement of freight on the National Highway Freight Network, which comprises the 41,500-mile Primary Highway Freight System (PHFS), all other Interstates not on the PHFS, and other State-identified critical rural and urban corridors. The FAST Act requires all States using formula dollars to complete a multimodal State Freight Plan.

National Highway Performance Program.—The National Highway Performance Program ($23.7 billion) is a formula-based program that focuses significant Federal resources 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. The 220,000-mile NHS comprises rural and urban roads serving major population centers, international border crossings, intermodal transportation facilities, and major travel destinations. The NHS includes the Interstate System, all principal arterials, intermodal connectors, and other roads important to mobility, commerce, national defense, and intermodal connectivity. The NHS provides mobility to the vast majority of the Nation's population and almost all of its commerce, supports national defense, and promotes intermodal connectivity.

Surface Transportation Block Grant Program.—The Surface Transportation Block Grant Program ($11.9 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, bridge and safety projects on any public road, and facilities for non-motorized transportation. 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 ($2.4 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). 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.

Metropolitan Transportation Planning Program.—The Metropolitan Transportation Planning Program ($350 million) provides funds for use by Metropolitan Planning Organizations 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. The planning process will provide consideration for projects that increase safety, support economic vitality, increase accessibility, mobility, and connectivity, protect and enhance the environment, emphasize the preservation of existing infrastructure, and increase security of the transportation system.

Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation Programs.—The Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation Programs ($1.1 billion) provide funding for transportation construction and engineering projects on Federal and Tribal lands that will: provide multi-modal access to basic community services including safer all-weather access to schools and healthcare facilities for 567 federally-recognized sovereign Tribal governments; improve multi-modal access to recreational areas on federal lands; and expand economic development in and around federal and Tribal lands while preserving the environment and reducing congestion.

Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects.—The Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects ($950 million) program is a discretionary grant program, established by the FAST Act, for major freight and highway projects that will improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of the movement of freight and people. Through the advancement of construction-ready projects, this program will enhance the Nation's freight movement.

Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) Program.—The TIFIA Program ($300 million) provides contract authority to cover the subsidy cost of providing credit assistance for 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 ($420 million) provides for a comprehensive, nationally-coordinated research, technology, and education program that will advance the Department of Transportation's goals, while accelerating innovation delivery and technology implementation. FHWA research, development and technology activities include: a highway research and development program; a technology and innovation deployment program; an intelligent transportation systems program; and a training and education program. The RT&E Program supports activities in the areas of safety, infrastructure, and innovation. 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 ($404 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; and Highway Use Tax Evasion Projects. 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, reduce congestion, and in many cases, provide the only reasonable form of transportation, particularly on coastal islands with year-round residents. 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.

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, 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.

The Operations and Programs account provides the necessary resources to support program and administrative activities for motor carrier safety. 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 Nation-wide 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, investment in research and technology with a focus on research regarding highly automated vehicles and related technology, and information technology's information management, safety outreach and education. The 2019 funding request reflects FMCSA's requirements to fund critical safety and operational facility improvements at border and domestic posts, fund important safety and safety mission support training for FMCSA staff, and to State partners.

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 active safety and advanced testing of emerging technologies.

The Highway Safety Research and Development programs support research, demonstrations, technical assistance, and national leadership activities for behavioral safety programs conducted by State and local governments, as well as various safety associations and organizations. These programs emphasize alcohol and drug countermeasures, driver and passenger occupant protection, driver distraction, 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 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.

NHTSA provides grants to States for activities related to the promotion of highway traffic safety. The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act provided multi-year surface transportation authorization legislation. 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. NHTSA 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 Section 405 grant programs include occupant protection, State traffic safety information system improvements, impaired driving countermeasures, distracted driving, motorcyclist safety, State graduated driving licensing, and non-motorized safety programs.

Funding requested in the Railroad Research and Development Program is focused on improving railroad safety. It provides scientific and engineering support for the Federal Railroad Administration's rail safety enforcement and rulemaking efforts. It also identifies and develops emerging technologies for the rail industry to adopt voluntarily. The outcomes of the research and development reduce accidents and incidents. In addition to improving safety, the program contributes significantly towards activities to achieve and maintain a state of good repair and promote job creation and economic growth.

The program focuses on the following areas of research:

Track Program.—Reducing derailments due to track related causes.

Rolling Stock Program.—Reducing derailments due to equipment failures, to minimize the consequences of derailments, and to minimize hazardous material releases.

Train Control and Communication.—Reducing train to train collisions and train collisions with objects on the line and at grade crossings.

Human Factors Program.—Reducing accidents caused by human error.

Railroad System Issues Program.—Prioritizing 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 as Moynihan Station. 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. In 2016, $40 million was transferred from the Federal Transit Administration's Hurricane Sandy funding into this account for risk reduction projects at Moynihan Station. No new funds are requested for this account in 2019.

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. Amtrak is not an agency or instrument of the U.S. Government, although, since the railroad's creation FRA has provided annual grants for operating, capital, and debt service costs.

Prior to 2006, FRA received annual appropriations in this account for grants to Amtrak. Since then, several one-time appropriations or funding transfers have been directed to this account, including $1.3 billion in funds under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009; $112 million from the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013 (P.L. 113–2) for recovery efforts from Super storm Sandy; $185 million transfer from the Federal Transit Administration for the Hudson Yards disaster resiliency project in New York City; and a $13 million transfer from the Federal Transit Administration for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority/Long Island Rail Road's River to River Rail Resiliency project in New York City. No new funds are requested for this account in 2019.

Operating grants to the national railroad passenger corporation

From 2006 to 2016, the Federal Railroad Administration received appropriations to this account to make quarterly grants to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) for the operation of intercity passenger rail. The FAST Act authorized two new appropriations accounts for Amtrak—Northeast Corridor grants and National Network grants—which first received funding in 2017. The Administration proposes to continue funding Amtrak under the FAST Act account structure. No new funds are requested for this account in 2019.

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 account in 2019.

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 for this account for 2019. The FAST Act did not authorize new funding for the Railroad Safety Technology Grants program.

The Transportation Equity Act of the 21st Century of 1998 established the Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing (RRIF) loan and loan guarantee program. The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act of 2005: A Legacy for Users, changed the program to allow FRA to issue direct loan and loan guarantees up to $35 billion, and it required that no less than $7 billion be reserved for projects primarily benefiting freight railroads other than Class I carriers. The program was expanded by the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 and again by the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act in 2015. The funding may be used: 1) to acquire, improve, or rehabilitate intermodal or rail equipment or facilities, including track, components of track, bridges, yards, buildings, or shops; 2) to refinance debt; 3) to develop and establish new intermodal or railroad facilities; 4) to reimburse related planning and design expenses; 5) and to finance (by December 2019) certain economic development related to passenger rail stations. In 2016, $1.96 million was made available to assist Class II and Class III railroads in covering RRIF loan application expenses. No new funds are requested for this account for 2019.

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 2015, a new five year surface transportation authorization law was enacted—Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act or the FAST Act. The FAST Act provides steady and predictable funding for five years and a renewed focus on reinvesting in and modernizing transit assets to help bring transit systems throughout the country into a state of good repair.

The Administration proposes $11.2 billion for FTA in 2019. This proposal includes $9.9 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 through a new discretionary grant program. The Administration proposes $1 billion in new budget authority for Capital Investment Grants, to support new fixed guideway investments as well as projects aimed at improving or restoring the core capacity of existing fixed guideway systems.

The table below presents actual funding enacted for 2017, 2018 annualized CR, and the requested 2019 funding. Additional detail is provided in the program budget schedules that follow.

The 2019 Budget request includes $1.0 billion for the Capital Investment Grants account 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 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 $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 2019.

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.

The 2019 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 Highway Trust Fund.

Transit Formula Grants funds can be used for transit capital purposes, including bus and rail car purchases; facility repair and construction; 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 2019 Budget request includes $9.939 billion for Transit Formula Grants. The 2019 formula grant program structure includes:

Urbanized Area Formula.—$4.827 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 of Good Repair Grants.—$2.638 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.—$659 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.—$561 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.—$280 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.—$777 million. For formula funding and discretionary funding 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. Funding also supports low and zero emission bus and bus facilities.

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.—$139 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 million. This 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.

Public Transportation Innovation.—$28 million. This program provides assistance for projects and activities to advance innovative public transportation research, demonstration, deployment and development and testing, evaluating and analyzing low or no emission vehicle components intended for use in low or no emission vehicles.

Technical Assistance and Workforce Development.—$9 million. This program enables FTA to provide technical assistance to the public transportation industry and to develop stands for transit serve 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.

Pilot Program for Enhanced Mobility.—$3.5 million. This pilot program assists in financing innovative projects for the transportation disadvantaged that improve the coordination of transportation services and non-emergency medical transportation services.

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 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.
