There is no monetary floor or upper limit for any single grant award; however, FTA intends to fund as many meritorious projects as possible. In addition, FTA will take into consideration the geographic diversity and other discretionary awards in award decisions.
Consistent with 49 U.S.C. Section 5309(m)(8), the Secretary shall consider the age and condition of buses, bus fleets, and bus-related facilities and equipment of proposers in its award...
