Federal Transit Administration
Major Capital Investment Program--New Starts
AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration (FTA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of discretionary selection of New Starts projects for
Funding.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) announces the discretionary selection of projects
for funding using unallocated Major Capital Investment (New Starts)
program funds. The funds accelerate federal payments for new fixed
guideway projects that are currently under construction.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For general program information on the
New Starts, contact Eric Hu, Office of Program Management, at (202)
366-0870, e-mail: [email protected], for program specific issues, contact
the appropriate FTA regional office (See Appendix A).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The New Starts discretionary funds will
advance Full Funding Grant Agreements payments and advance the Federal
Government's commitments to the selected projects. The funding will
give a well-timed boost to communities that have made important
investments in their transportation infrastructure.
[[Page 17737]]
Furthermore, the advance payments will save financial costs for the
local transit project sponsors and free up local funds for other
transit projects that will further enhance mobility and livability in
their communities. A total of $207,403,999 is available for FTA's
discretionary allocation under the New Starts program. Of the total
made available, $182,404,000 will fund seven transit projects already
under construction; $24,999,999 restores funding for the Oakland
Airport Connector. Projects selected for funding are shown in Table 1,
which accompanies this announcement. Project identification numbers are
assigned to each project and must be used in the Transportation
Electronic Award Management grant application. Pre-award authority is
granted as of December 27, 2010. The funding announced in this notice
will be available for obligation until September 30, 2013.
Issued in Washington, DC, this 23rd day of March, 2011.
Peter Rogoff,
Administrator.
