I. Funding Opportunity Description
A. Authority
The program is authorized under 49 U.S.C. Section 5309(b) 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-* * *
(3) capital projects to replace, rehabilitate, and purchase buses and related equipment and to construct bus-related facilities, including programs of bus and bus-related projects for assistance to subrecipients that are public agencies, private companies engaged in public transportation, or private non-profit organizations."
B. Background
FTA has long fostered livable communities and sustainable development through its various transit 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 facilitate mobility demands of transit users or support other infrastructure investments 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 Livability Bus Program funding will be awarded to projects that demonstrate these livability principles (see Section of this Preamble C.).
Approximately $150 million in unallocated Section 5309 Bus and Bus Facilities Program 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 decision 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, while offering flexibility of choices is a key strategic goal of the DOT. FTA is committed to creating livable communities that improve the quality of life for all Americans. Public transportation provides transportation options that connects communities and fosters sustainability and the development of urban and rural land use. Through the Livability Bus Program grants, FTA will invest in 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 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 mobility for all citizens, create partnerships that result in the integration of transportation and land-use decision making and result in environmental benefits. Additionally, many rural areas are fighting to preserve their way of life by limiting urban sprawl and protecting valuable agricultural lands. Often these communities have seen jobs and businesses leave for larger communities and need assistance preserving and reinvigorating the traditional rural town center where locals can find the grocery, doctor, hardware store, family restaurant and town hall in easy walking distance from one another. FTA is committed to funding a mix of projects that include projects that demonstrate livability principles in rural areas including projects that provide access to jobs, medical services and other necessities in rural areas and that support the independence of the elderly and individuals with disabilities.
II. Award Information
Federal transit funds are available to State or Local governmental authorities as recipients and other public transportation providers as subrecipients at up to 80 percent of the project cost requiring a 20% local match. There is no floor or upper limit for any single grant under this program; however, FTA intends to fund as many meritorious projects as possible.
Consistent with 49 U.S.C. 5309(m)(8), the Secretary shall consider the age and condition of buses, bus fleets, related equipment, and bus-related facilities of applicants in its award of Livability Bus grants. And, in addition, FTA will consider geographical diversity in making final funding decisions.
Eligibility Information
A. Eligible Applicants
Eligible applicants under this program are Direct Recipients under the Section 5307 Urbanized Area Formula program, States, and Indian Tribes. Proposals for funding eligible projects in rural (nonurbanized) areas must be submitted as part of a consolidated State application with the exception of nonurbanized projects to Indian Tribes. Tribes, States, and Direct Recipients may also submit consolidated proposals for projects in urbanized areas.
Proposals may contain projects to be implemented by the Recipient or its subrecipients. Eligible subrecipients include public agencies, private non-profit organizations, and private providers engaged in public transportation.
B. Eligible Expenses
SAFETEA-LU grants authority to the Secretary to make grants to assist State and local governmental authorities in financing capital projects to replace, rehabilitate, and purchase buses and related equipment and to construct bus-related facilities, including programs of bus and bus-related projects for assistance to subrecipients that are public agencies, private companies engaged in public transportation, or private non-profit organizations.
Projects eligible for funding under the Livability Bus program are capital projects such as:
Purchase and rehabilitation of buses and vans, bus related equipment (including ITS, fare equipment, communication devices), construction and rehabilitation of bus-related facilities (including administrative, maintenance, transfer, and intermodal facilities, including facilities consistent with FTA's Joint Development policy which is available at http://www.fta.dot.gov.
Funds made available under this program may not be used to fund operating expenses, preventive maintenance, or any of the other expanded capital eligibility items (for example, security drills, debt service reserve, mobility management.) Funds also may not be used to reimburse projects that have incurred previous expenses absent evidence that FTA had issued a Letter of No Prejudice (LONP) for the project before the costs being incurred. There is no blanket pre-award authority for projects to be funded under this announcement before their identification in the Federal Register of selected projects.
C. Cost Sharing
Costs will be shared at the following ratio: 80 Percent FTA/20 Percent local contribution, unless the grantee requests a lower Federal share. FTA will not approve deferred local share under this program.
IV. Application and Submission Information
A. Proposal Submission Process
Project proposals must be submitted electronically through http://www.grants.gov or by e-mail electronically at buslivability@dot.gov. Submission via the bus livability e-mail is preferred. Mail and fax submissions will not be accepted except for supplemental information that cannot be sent electronically.
An applicant may propose a project that would take more than one year to complete, which includes expending a single year of Livability Bus program grant funds over multiple years. The project would, however, need to be ready to begin upon receiving a grant and need to be completed in a reasonable period of time, as evaluated on a case by case basis. In sum, the period of performance of the award is separate from the year of funds of the award.

V. Application Review, Selection, and Notification
A. Project Evaluation Criteria
Projects will be evaluated according to the following criteria. Each applicant is encouraged to demonstrate the responsiveness of a project to any and all of the selection criteria with the most relevant information that the applicant 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 addresses the criteria below and produces a livability or sustainability outcome.
1. Demonstrated Need for Resources: FTA will evaluate each project to determine its need for resources. This determination will be made by examining the proposal to determine if:
a. The project represents a one-time or periodic need that cannot
reasonably be funded from FTA program formula allocations or
State and/or local revenues.
b. The project or applicant did not receive sufficient Federal funding
in previous years.
c. The project will have a significant impact on service delivery.
2. Planning and prioritization at local/regional level: FTA will examine eachBus Livability project proposal for consistency with the areas planningdocuments and local priorities. This examination will involve assessingwhether:
a. The project is consistent with the transit priorities identified inthe long range plan and/or contingency/illustrative projects.
b. The MPO endorses the project, if in a UZA, and the State, if fora rural area.
c. Local support is demonstrated by availability of local match forthis and/or related projects and letters of support.
d. Capital projects are consistent with service needs of the area.Example: Vehicle expansion proposal shows evidence of theneed for additional capacity.
e. If the project is multimodal in nature, the proposal demonstratescoordination with and support of other transportation modes andpartners.
3. Livability: Livability investments are projects that deliver not onlytransportation benefits, but also are designed and planned in such a waythat they have a positive impact on qualitative measures of communitylife. This element delivers benefits that are inherently difficult to measure.However, it is implicit to livability that its benefits are shared andtherefore magnified by the number of potential users in the affectedcommunity. Therefore, descriptions of how projects enhance livabilityshould include a description of the affected community and the scale ofthe project's impact. To determine whether a project improves the qualityof the living and working environment of a community, FTA willqualitatively assess whether the project:
a. Will significantly enhance user mobility through the creation of more convenient transportation options for travelers;
b. The degree to which the proposed project contributessignificantly to broader traveler mobility through intermodalconnections, or improved connections between residential andcommercial areas.
c. Will improve existing transportation choices by enhancingpoints of modal connectivity or, in urban areas, by reducingcongestion on existing transit systems or roadways.
d. Will improve accessibility and transport services foreconomically disadvantaged populations, non-drivers, seniorcitizens, and persons with disabilities.
e. Is the result of a planning process which coordinatedtransportation and land-use planning decisions and encouragedcommunity participation in the process.
4. 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, use of 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/greenhouse gas emissions; applicants are encouraged to provideinformation regarding the expected use of clean or alternativesources of energy; projects that demonstrate a projected decreasein the movement of people by less energy-efficient vehicles orsystems will be given priority under this factor; and
b. Maintain, protect or enhance the environment, as evidenced byenvironmentally friendly policies and practices utilized in theproject design, construction, and operation that exceed therequirements of the National Environmental Policy Actincluding items such as whether the project uses a Leadership inEnergy and Environmental Design (LEED)-certified design, thevehicles or facilities are rated with the energy-star, the project re-uses a brownfield, construction equipment is retrofitted withcatalytic converters, the project utilizes recycled materials, theproject includes elements to conserve energy, such as passivesolar heating, solar panels, wind turbines, reflective roofing orpaving materials, or other advanced environmental designelements such as a green roof, etc.
5. Leveraging of public and private investments.
a. Jurisdictional and 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 co-investment from State, local or other non-profit sources.
b. Disciplinary Integration: To demonstrate the value of partnerships across government agencies that serve the various public service missions and to promote collaboration on the objectives outlined in this notice, FTA will give priority to projects that are supported, financially or otherwise, by non-transportation public agencies that are pursuing similar objectives. For example, FTA will give priority to transportation projects that are supported by relevant public housing or human service agencies, or transportation projects that encourage energy efficiency or improve the environment and are supported by relevant public agencies with energy or environmental missions.
6. The project is ready to implement.
a. Any required environmental work has been initiated for construction projects requiring an Environmental Assessment (EA), Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), or documented Categorical Exclusion (CE).
b. Implementation plans are ready, including initial design of facilities projects.
c. TIP/STIP can be amended (evidenced by MPO/State endorsement).
d. Local share is in place.
e. Project can be obligated and implemented quickly if selected.
f. The applicant demonstrates the ability to carry out the proposed project successfully.
Note:
Applicants must have basic technical, legal, and financial capacity as a precondition of grant award. Since proposals are limited to existing FTA grantees, applicants are assumed to have that basic capacity. This criterion refers to implementation of the particular project proposed.
a. For larger capital projects, the applicant has the technical capacity to administer the project.
b. For fleet replacement and/or expansion, the acquisition is consistent with the bus fleet management plan.
c. For fleet expansion, the applicant has the operating funds to support the expanded service.
d. There are no outstanding legal, technical or financial issues with the grantee that would bring the feasibility of successful project completion into question.
e. Source of 20% local match is identified and is available for prompt project implementation if selected (no deferred local share will be allowed).
f. The grantee is in fundable status for grant making purpose.
B. Review and Selection Process
Proposals will first be screened and ranked by the appropriate FTA regional office (see Appendix). Following this initial review, meritorious proposals will be submitted for a national review process and coordinated with representatives of HUD and EPA. 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. As mentioned earlier in this Preamble, the Administrator will also take into consideration geographical diversity in his final decision. 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. Regional offices will also notify successful applicants of their success and the amount of funding awarded to the project.
VI. Award Administration
A. Award Notices
FTA will announce project selections in a Federal Register Notice and will post the Federal Register Notices on the Web. FTA regional offices will contact successful applicants. FTA will award grants for 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.
