Program Project Selections
AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Tribal Transit Program announcement of project selections.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) announces the selection of projects funded with
Section 5311 (c), Public Transportation on Indian Reservations program
funds in support of the Tribal Transit Program. Funding was announced
in the Tribal Transit Program (TTP) Notice of Funding Availability on
July 25, 2011. The TTP makes funds available to federally recognized
Indian Tribes or Alaska Native villages, groups, or communities in
support of capital projects, operating costs, and planning activities
for public transportation services on and around Indian reservations.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Successful and unsuccessful applicants
should contact the appropriate FTA Regional office (Appendix A) for
information regarding applying for the funds or program specific
information. In the event the contact information provided by your
tribe in the application has changed, please contact your tribal
liaison with the current information in order to expedite the grant
award process. For general program information, contact Lorna R.
Wilson, Office of Transit Programs, at (202) 366-0893, email:
[email protected]. A TDD is available at 1-(800) 877-8339 (TDD/
FIRS).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A total of $15.075 million is available for
the FY 2011 Tribal Transit program. A total of 116 applicants requested
$41.587 million, indicating significant demand for funds for new
transit services, enhancement or expansion of existing transit
services, and planning studies including operational planning. Project
proposals were evaluated based on each applicant's responsiveness to
the program evaluation criteria outlined in FTA's, July 25, 2011 NOFA.
FTA also took into consideration the current status of previously
funded applicants. A total of 67 applications have been selected for
funding. The projects selected as shown in Table 1 will provide funding
for transit planning studies/and or operational planning, startup
projects for new transit service, and for the operational expenses of
existing transit services.
Project Implementation: Grantees selected for competitive
discretionary funding should work with their FTA regional office to
finalize the grant application in FTA's Transportation Electronic
Awards Management System (TEAM) for the projects identified in Table I
so that funds can be obligated expeditiously. FTA funds may only be
used for eligible purposes defined under 49 U.S.C 5311 and described in
FTA Circular 9040.1F. In cases where the allocation amount is less than
the proposer's requested amount, grantees should work with their
regional office to reduce scope or scale the project such that a
completed phase or project is accomplished. A discretionary project
identification number has been assigned to each project for tracking
purposes and must be used in the TEAM application. The post-award
reporting requirements include submission of the Federal Financial
Report (FFR) and Milestone Report in TEAM as appropriate (see FTA
Circular 9040. IF).
The grantee must comply with all applicable Federal statutes,
regulations, executive orders, FTA circulars, and other Federal
requirements in carrying out the project supported by the FTA grant.
Funds allocated in this announcement must be obligated in a grant by
September 30, 2014.
Issued in Washington, DC, this 29th day of December, 2011.

Administrator.
