Opportunity Information: Apply for FTA 2020 002 TPM ER
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA), within the U.S. Department of Transportation, offered this funding opportunity to help public transportation systems cover extraordinary costs tied to major federally declared disasters that occurred during calendar year 2018. The program is part of FTA's Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program and is designed to support transit agencies and related eligible recipients that had to respond to, recover from, or rebuild after disaster events. Rather than operating like a typical competitive discretionary grant where applicants are ranked against one another, these funds were made available on a non-competitive basis, meaning FTA intended to distribute the money to eligible applicants based on program rules and documented disaster-related needs.
The total amount available under this notice was $10,462,935. Funding was provided through grants (Funding Instrument Type: Grant), and the opportunity was categorized as discretionary. The CFDA number associated with this program is 20.527, which corresponds to the Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program. The notice anticipated a relatively large number of awards (expected awards listed as 100), suggesting many recipients could receive smaller allocations depending on their circumstances and eligible expenses. The listing shows an award ceiling of $0, which typically indicates there was no fixed maximum stated in the notice itself and that award sizes would instead be determined by eligibility, documented costs, and the amount of funding remaining.
Eligible applicants included state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The opportunity also allowed additional eligible recipients beyond those categories, described broadly as other FTA recipients and affected entities, including states and territories, as long as they met the program's eligibility requirements. In practice, this targets transit providers and public transportation authorities that receive FTA assistance and that incurred disaster-related impacts tied to 2018 major disaster declarations.
Eligible projects covered the range of activities a transit system typically must undertake following a major disaster. This includes immediate disaster response actions, recovery work to restore services and address damage, and longer-term rebuilding and repair activities necessary to return transit infrastructure, vehicles, facilities, and related assets to a state of good repair or to replace what was damaged or destroyed. The intent is to reimburse or fund costs that are directly related to disaster impacts and that fit within the Emergency Relief Program's allowable cost framework.
The opportunity was created on December 3, 2019, with an original application closing date of January 17, 2020. The funding opportunity number for this notice was FTA 2020 002 TPM ER. Overall, the notice served as a targeted allocation of emergency relief resources specifically for transit systems affected by qualifying major declared disasters in 2018, with distribution handled by FTA under established Emergency Relief eligibility rules rather than through a competitive selection process.Apply for FTA 2020 002 TPM ER
