                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Federal public transportation law (49 U.S.C.
                5339(b)) authorizes FTA to make competitive grants for buses and bus
                facilities. Federal public transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5338)
                authorized $263,219,530 for competitive allocations in FY 2019. The
                Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 (Pub. L. 116-6) appropriated an
                additional $160 million for the Bus Program for FY 2019. An additional
                $130,710 of unawarded FY 2018 funding was also made available. After
                the statutory set aside for oversight, $423,350,240 was made available
                for competitive grants under the Bus Program.
                 On May 15, 2019, FTA published a Notice of Funding Opportunity
                (NOFO) (84 FR 21899) announcing the availability of $423,350,240 in
                competitive funding under the Bus Program. These funds will provide
                financial assistance to states and eligible public agencies to replace,
                rehabilitate, purchase, or lease buses, vans, and related equipment,
                and for capital projects to rehabilitate, purchase, construct, or lease
                bus-related facilities. In response to the NOFO, FTA received 318
                eligible project proposals from 43 States and the District of Columbia,
                totaling approximately $1.89 billion in Federal funds. Project
                proposals were evaluated based on each applicant's responsiveness to
                the program evaluation criteria outlined in the NOFO.
                 Based on the criteria in the NOFO, FTA is funding 94 projects, as
                shown in Table 1, for a total of $423,329,839. Recipients selected for
                competitive funding are required to work with their FTA Regional Office
                to submit a grant application in FTA's Transit Award Management System
                (TrAMS) for the projects identified in the attached table to quickly
                obligate funds. Grant applications must only include eligible
                activities applied for in the original project application. Funds must
                be used consistent with the competitive proposal and for the eligible
                capital purposes described in the NOFO.
                 In cases where the allocation amount is less than the proposer's
                total requested amount, recipients are required to fund the scalable
                project option as described in the application. If the award amount
                does not correspond to the scalable option, the recipient should work
                with the Regional Office to reduce scope or scale the project such that
                a complete phase or project is accomplished. Recipients may also
                provide additional local funds to complete a proposed project. A
                discretionary project identification number has been assigned to each
                project for tracking purposes and must be used in the TrAMS
                application.
                 Selected projects are eligible to incur costs under pre-award
                authority no earlier than the date projects were publicly announced,
                November 25, 2019. Pre-award authority does not guarantee that project
                expenses incurred prior to the award of a grant will be eligible for
                reimbursement, as eligibility for reimbursement is contingent upon
                other requirements, such as planning and environmental requirements,
                having been met. For more about FTA's policy on pre-award authority,
                please see the FTA Fiscal Year 2019 Apportionments, Allocations, and
                Program Information and Interim Guidance (84 FR 31984). Post-award
                reporting requirements include submission of Federal Financial Reports
                and Milestone Progress Reports in TrAMS (see FTA.C.5010.1E). Recipients
                must comply with all applicable Federal statutes, regulations,
                executive orders, FTA circulars, and other Federal requirements in
                carrying out the project supported by the FTA grant. FTA emphasizes
                that recipients must follow all third-party procurement requirements
                set forth in Federal public transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5325(a)) and
                described in the FTA Third Party Contracting Guidance Circular (FTA
                Circular 4220.1). Funds allocated in this announcement must be
                obligated in a grant by September 30, 2023.
                 Technical Review And Evaluation Summary: The FTA assessed all
                project proposals that were submitted under the FY 2019 Bus Program
                competition according to the following evaluation criteria. The
                specific metrics for each criterion were described in the May 15, 2019,
                NOFO:
                1. Demonstration of Need
                2. Demonstration of Benefits
                3. Planning/Local Prioritization
                4. Local Financial Commitment
                5. Project Implementation Strategy
                6. Technical, Legal, and Financial Capacity
                For each project, a technical review panel assigned a rating of Highly
                Recommended, Recommended, or Not Recommended for each of the six
                criteria. The technical review panel then assigned an overall rating of
                Highly Recommended, Recommended, Not Recommended, or Ineligible to the
                project proposal.
                 Projects were assigned a final overall rating of Highly Recommended
                if they were rated Highly Recommended in at least four categories
                overall, with no Not Recommended ratings. Projects were assigned a
                final overall rating of Recommended if the projects had three or more
                Recommended ratings and no Not Recommended ratings. Projects were
                assigned a rating of Not Recommended if they received a Not Recommended
                rating in any criteria. A summary of the final overall ratings for all
                318 eligible project proposals is shown in the table below.

                cost share, departmental objectives, location in an opportunity zone,

                 As further outlined in the NOFO, in some cases, due to funding
                limitations, proposers that were selected for funding received less
                than the amount originally requested.
