additional Section 5309(a) Discretionary funding that becomes available
for allocation to further support this initiative.
This notice invites proposals for urban circulator projects seeking
less than $25,000,000 in Federal Section 5309 assistance that would
compete for Section 5309 discretionary funds authorized by 49 U.S.C.
5309(a). The Secretary may make grants under 5309(a) to assist State
and local governmental authorities in financing new fixed guideway
capital projects including the acquisition of real property, the
initial acquisition of rolling stock for the systems, the acquisition
of rights-of-way, and relocation. This notice includes priorities
established by FTA for these discretionary funds, the criteria FTA will
use to identify meritorious projects for funding, and describes how to
apply.

I. Funding Opportunity Description
A. Authority
The program is authorized under 49 U.S.C. 5309(a) as amended by
section 3011 of SAFETEA-LU. The Secretary may make grants under this
section to assist State and local governmental authorities in financing
new fixed guideway capital projects, including the acquisition of real
property, the initial acquisition of rolling stock for the systems, the
acquisition of rights-of-way, and relocation. Consistent with Section
5309(e)(1)(B), projects receiving less than $25,000,000 in Federal
assistance with respect to a new fixed guideway capital project are
considered exempt from certain requirements of the program, until a
final regulation issued under paragraph (9) of this subsection takes
effect.
B. Background
FTA has long fostered livable communities and sustainable transit
development through its various programs and activities. Public
transportation supports the development of communities, providing
effective and reliable transportation alternatives that increase access
to jobs, health and social services, entertainment, educational
opportunities, and other activities of daily life, while also improving
mobility within and among these communities. Through various
initiatives and legislative changes over the last fifteen years, FTA
has allowed and encouraged projects that help integrate transit into a
community through neighborhood improvements and enhancements to transit
facilities or services, or make improvements to areas adjacent to
public transit facilities that may ease the transportation needs of
transit users or support other infrastructure investments
[[Page 64990]]
that enhance the use of transit for the community.
On June 16, 2009, U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary
Ray LaHood, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
Secretary Shaun Donovan, and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Administrator Lisa Jackson announced a new partnership to help American
families in all communities--rural, suburban and urban--gain better
access to affordable housing, more transportation options, and lower
transportation costs.
DOT, HUD and EPA created a high-level interagency partnership to
better coordinate Federal transportation, environmental protection, and
housing investments. The Urban Circulator Program funding will be
awarded to eligible projects that best demonstrate these livability
principles (see C. below).
Approximately $130 million in unallocated Section 5309 New Starts/
Small Starts funds are available under this notice. By using these
available funds, FTA and DOT can support tangible livability
improvements within existing programs while demonstrating the
feasibility and value of such improvements. These demonstrations can
provide a sound basis for advancing greater investments in the future.
In addition, the program builds on the momentum generated by the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 2009 and can help inform
Administration and Congressional decisions makers on guidance needs for
reauthorization.
C. Purpose
Improving mobility and shaping America's future by ensuring that
the transportation system is accessible, integrated, and efficient, and
offers flexibility of choices is a key strategic goal of DOT. FTA is
committed to creating livable communities that improve the quality of
life for all Americans. Urban circulator systems such as streetcars
provide a transportation option that connects urban destinations and
fosters the redevelopment of urban spaces into walkable mixed use, high
density environments. Through the Urban Circulator Program grants, FTA
will invest in a limited number of projects that fulfill the six
livability principles that serve as the foundation for the DOT-HUD-EPA
Partnership for Sustainable Communities:
1. Provide more transportation choices: Develop safe, reliable and
economical transportation choices to decrease household transportation
costs, reduce our nation's dependence on foreign oil, improve air
quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote public health.
2. Promote equitable, affordable housing: Expand location- and
energy-efficient housing choices for people of all ages, incomes, races
and ethnicities to increase mobility and lower the combined cost of
housing and transportation.
3. Enhance economic competitiveness: Improve economic
competitiveness through reliable and timely access to employment
centers, educational opportunities, services and other basic needs by
workers as well as expanded business access to markets.
4. Support existing communities: Target Federal funding toward
existing communities--through such strategies as transit-oriented,
mixed-use development and land recycling--to increase community
revitalization, improve the efficiency of public works investments, and
safeguard rural landscapes.
5. Coordinate policies and leverage investment: Align Federal
policies and funding to remove barriers to collaboration, leverage
funding and increase the accountability and effectiveness of all levels
of government to plan for future growth, including making smart energy
choices such as locally generated renewable energy.
6. Value communities and neighborhoods: Enhance the unique
characteristics of all communities by investing in healthy, safe and
walkable neighborhoods--rural, urban or suburban.
FTA will evaluate proposals and assess a project's ability to
advance local economic development goals, improve accessibility, create
partnerships that result in the integration of transportation and land-
use decision making and result in environmental benefits.
II. Award Information
Federal transit funds are available to State or local governmental
authorities as recipients and other public transportation providers as
subrecipients for up to 80% of the net project capital cost, not to
exceed $24.99 million in Section 5309 funds. Rail transit projects
selected under the program would be subject to State Safety Oversight,
consistent with 49 CFR part 659.
III. Eligibility Information
A. Eligible Applicants
Eligible applications under this program are public bodies and
agencies (transit authorities and other State and local public bodies
and agencies thereof) including States, municipalities, other political
subdivisions of States; public agencies and instrumentalities of one or
more States; and certain public corporations, boards, and commissions
established under State law, who are authorized to engage in public
transportation.
B. Eligible Projects
To be eligible for funding under Section 5309(a), a project must be
based on the results of an alternative analysis and preliminary
engineering. In addition, a project must meet one of the following
guideway criteria:
1. Be a fixed guideway for at least 50% of the project length in
the peak period--AND/OR--
2. Be a corridor-based bus project with the following minimum
elements:
a. Substantial Transit Stations
b. Signal Priority/Pre-emption (for Bus/LRT)
c. Low Floor/Level Boarding Vehicles
d. Special Branding of Service
e. Frequent Service--10 min peak/15 min off peak
f. Service offered at least 14 hours per day
C. Eligible Expenses
Section 5309 grants authority to the Secretary to make grants ``to
assist State and local governmental authorities in financing new fixed
guideway capital projects, including the acquisition of real property,
the initial acquisition of rolling stock for the systems, the
acquisition of rights-of-way, and relocation.'' Section 5309 also
allows the Secretary to make grants ``for fixed guideway corridor
development for projects in the advanced stages of alternatives
analysis or preliminary engineering.'' Due to the limited amount of
funds, FTA is limiting awards under this program to the activities
mentioned in the first sentence and not the second. Section 5309 funds
cannot be used to reimburse grantees that have incurred prior expenses
for the project absent evidence that FTA had issued a Letter of No
Prejudice (LONP) for the project prior to the costs being incurred.
There is no blanket pre-award authority for projects to be funded under
this announcement prior to the identification in the Federal Register
of selected projects.
D. Cost Sharing
FTA will provide up to 80% of the net project capital cost; however
the amount of Section 5309(a) funds must be less than $25 million for
each urban circulator project selected. Other Federal funds that are
eligible to be
[[Page 64991]]
expended for transportation capital projects can be applied to the
project. FTA will not approve deferred local share under this program.

V. Application Review Information
A. Project Evaluation Criteria
Projects will be evaluated according to the following criteria.
Applicants are encouraged to demonstrate the responsiveness of a
project to any and all of the selection criteria with the most relevant
information that applicants can provide, regardless of whether such
information has been specifically requested, or identified, in this
notice. FTA will assess the extent to which a project produces one or
more of the following outcomes.
(1.) Livability: Livability investments are projects that not only
deliver transportation benefits, but are also designed and planned in
such a way that they have a positive impact on qualitative measures of
community life. This element delivers benefits that are inherently
difficult to measure. However, it is implicit to livability that its
benefits are shared and therefore magnified by the number of potential
users in the affected community. Therefore, descriptions of how
projects enhance livability should include a description of the
affected community and the scale of the project's impact, including
existing transit ridership and projected transit ridership that will
result from the project. In order to determine whether a project
improves the quality of the living and working environment of a
community, FTA will qualitatively assess whether the project:
(a) Will significantly enhance accessibility through the creation
of more convenient transportation options for travelers;
(b) Will improve existing transportation choices by enhancing
points of modal connectivity;
(c) Will improve accessibility and transport services for
economically disadvantaged populations, non-drivers, senior citizens,
and persons with disabilities;
(d) Is the result of a planning process which coordinated
transportation and land-use planning decisions and encouraged community
participation in the process.
FTA will also assess whether there is existing or planned mixed
income housing, including low income housing, within walking distance
of the project. In addition, particular attention will be paid to the
degree to which the proposed project contributes significantly to
broader traveler accessibility through intermodal connections or
improved connections between residential and commercial areas.
Consequently the application should clearly identify how the project
will connect redeveloping or new neighborhoods on vacant or
underutilized land to each other or to major attractors in the central
city or how circulator or connector lines under the project will
connect developed
[[Page 64992]]
neighborhoods with one another or with the business district in the
central city. Applications should also note proposed strategies to
deliver high quality pedestrian environments in the corridor.
(2) Sustainability: In order to determine whether a project
promotes a more environmentally sustainable transportation system,
i.e., reducing reliance on automobile travel, improving the pedestrian
and walk environment of a community and using environmental design
techniques in the planning, construction, and operation of the project,
FTA will assess the project's ability to:
(a) Improve energy efficiency or reduce energy consumption/green
house gas emissions; applicants are encouraged to provide information
regarding the expected use of clean or alternative sources of energy;
projects which introduce new technology through innovative and improved
products such as those which involve energy saving propulsion
technologies within the eligible major capital investment criteria or
that demonstrate a projected decrease in the movement of people by less
energy-efficient vehicles or systems will be given priority under this
factor; and
(b) Maintain, protect or enhance the environment, as evidenced by
environmentally friendly policies and practices utilized in the project
design, construction, and operation that exceed the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act including items such as whether the
project uses a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-
certified design, the vehicles or facilities are rated with the energy-
star, the project uses a brownfield, construction equipment is
retrofitted with catalytic converters, the project utilizes recycled
materials, the project includes elements to conserve energy, such as
passive solar heating, solar panels, wind turbines, reflective roofing
or paving materials, or other advanced environmental design elements
such as a green roof, etc.
(3) Economic Development: FTA will assess whether the project will
foster redevelopment adjacent to the project for which assistance is
being sought. In addition, FTA will assess whether existing plans,
policies, and incentives promote economic development and transit
supportive development that provides jobs and services within the
community, and whether there is demonstrated progress towards achieving
mixed use development, at those locations specifically served by the
proposed project.
(4) Leveraging of public and private investments.
(a) Jurisdictional & Stakeholder Collaboration: To measure a
project's alignment with this criterion, FTA will assess the project's
involvement of non-Federal entities and the use of non-Federal funds,
including the scope of involvement and share of total funding. FTA will
give priority to projects that receive financial commitments from, or
otherwise involve, State and local governments, other public entities,
or private or nonprofit entities, including projects that engage
parties that are not traditionally involved in transportation projects,
such as nonprofit community groups or the private owners of real
property abutting the project. FTA will assess the amount of private
debt and equity to be invested in the project or the amount of co-
investment from State, local or other non-profit sources.
(b) Disciplinary Integration: Livability incorporates the concept
of collaborative decision-making. To promote collaboration on the
objectives outlined in this notice and to demonstrate the value of
partnerships across government agencies that serve the various public
service missions FTA will give priority to projects that are supported,
financially or otherwise, by non-transportation public agencies that
are pursuing similar objectives and are aligning their community
development activities to increase the efficiency of Federal
investments. FTA will give priority to transportation projects that are
supported by relevant public housing agencies, or transportation
projects that encourage energy efficiency or improve the environment
and are supported by relevant public agencies with energy or
environmental missions.
(5) The applicant must demonstrate the ability to carry out the
proposed project successfully. Applicants must have basic technical,
legal, and financial capacity as a precondition of grant award as
evidenced by:
(a) Project Schedule: A feasible and sufficiently detailed project
schedule demonstrating that the project can begin construction within
eighteen months of receipt of a Discretionary Grant and that the Grant
Funds will be spent steadily and expeditiously once construction
starts.
(b) Environmental Approvals: Receipt (or reasonably anticipated
receipt) of all environmental approvals necessary for the project to
proceed to construction on the timeline specified in the project
schedule, including satisfaction of all Federal, State and local
requirements and completion of the National Environmental Policy Act
process. Applicants must consult with their FTA regional office to
determine the feasibility of a reasonably anticipated receipt of an
environmental decision on the proposed project.
(c) Legislative Approvals: Receipt of all necessary legislative
approvals. The project application must demonstrate: (1) That
development or redevelopment agreements are in place with respect to
the project; (2) land use policies complementary to the project have
been adopted for land in close proximity to the project; and (3)
property zoned to accommodate mixed-use development is available
adjacent to the project.
(d) State and Local Planning: The inclusion of the project in the
relevant State, metropolitan, and local planning documents. All
regionally significant projects requiring an action by FTA must be in
the metropolitan transportation plan, Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP) and Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
To the extent a project is required to be in a metropolitan
transportation plan, TIP and/or STIP it will not receive an Urban
Circulator Discretionary Grant until it is included in such plans.
(e) Technical Feasibility: The technical feasibility of the
project, including completion of sufficient engineering and design.
(f) Financial Feasibility: The viability and completeness of the
project's financing package, including evidence of stable and reliable
financial commitments and contingency reserves, as appropriate, and
evidence of the grant recipient's ability to manage grants.
B. Review and Selection Process
Proposals will be screened and ranked based on the criteria in this
notice by FTA headquarters staff in consultation with the appropriate
FTA regional office (see Appendix), and coordinated with
representatives of HUD and EPA. Highly qualified projects will be
considered for inclusion in a national list of projects that addresses
the identified priorities and represents the highest and best use of
the available funding. The FTA Administrator will determine the final
selection and amount of funding for each project. Selected projects
will be announced in early 2010. FTA will publish the list of all
selected projects and funding levels in the Federal Register.
VI. Award Administration
A. Award Notices
FTA will announce project selections in a Federal Register Notice
and FTA regional offices will contact successful applicants. FTA will
award grants for
[[Page 64993]]
the selected projects to the applicant through the FTA electronic
grants management and award system, TEAM, after receipt of a complete
application in TEAM. These grants will be administered and managed by
the FTA regional offices in accordance with the Federal requirements of
the Section 5309 bus program. At the time the project selections are
announced, FTA will extend pre-award authority for the selected
projects. There is no blanket pre-award authority for these projects
prior to announcement.
B. Administrative and National Policy Requirements
1. Grant Requirements
