On Friday, January 27th the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) unveiled the nearly $1.7 billion FY 2023 Low-No and Bus and Bus Facility Competitive Grant Programs.
FTA is joining these two grant opportunities in one NOFO, and applicants can apply to either program or both. There is $1.2 billion in competitive grants under the Low or No Emission Grant Program and $469 million under the Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Competitive Program (Buses and Bus Facilities Program).
An applicant may submit a low or no emissions project to both the Buses and Bus Facilities Competitive Program and the Low-No Program or submit the project only to the Low-No Program or only to the Buses and Bus Facilities Competitive Program. If submitting to both programs, a separate application package must be submitted to each opportunity ID for the respective program listed on grants.gov
In addition, FTA will host two webinars to provide information to potential applicants, including a review of program eligibility, an overview of the evaluation criteria and selection considerations, and the submission process.
