On January 11, 2021, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announced a total of $14 billion in federal funding allocations to support public transportation, provided through the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 (CRRSAA) (H.R.133). While not included in the previously funded CARES Act, the Section 5310 eligible programs, Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities, was allocated $50 million in CRRSAA. The remaining funding will be distributed among eligible Section 5307 and 5311 programs.
Funding allocated to Section 5310 programs can be awarded at 100 percent (no local match required) and should be allocated to the maximum extent possible to payroll and operational expenses, include PPE and sanitization products. All projects are required to be programmed within the locally developed Transportation Improvement Plans (TIP); administered and approved by a State DOT or designated Metropolitan Planning Organization.
FTA has created an informational page, along with frequently asked questions. |
