A. Program Description
The Tribal Transit Program is authorized by Federal public transit
law at 49 U.S.C. 5311(c)(1)(A). The program authorizes grants ``under
such terms and
[[Page 31594]]
conditions as may be established by the Secretary'' to Indian tribes
for any purpose eligible under FTA's Formula Grants for Rural Areas
Program, 49 U.S.C. 5311. Tribes may apply for this funding directly.
The primary purpose of these competitively selected grants is to
support planning, capital, and, in limited circumstances, operating
assistance for tribal public transit services. Funds distributed to
Indian tribes under the Tribal Transit Program do not replace or reduce
funds that Indian tribes receive from States through FTA's Formula
Grants for Rural Areas Program. Specific project eligibility under this
competitive allocation is described in Section C of this notice.
B. Federal Award Information
Five million dollars is authorized for the Tribal Transit Program
competitive allocation in FY 2020 to projects selected pursuant to the
process described in the following sections. Federal awards under this
competitive program will be in the form of grants. Additionally, there
is a $25,000 cap on planning grant awards, and FTA has the discretion
to cap capital and operating awards.
C. Eligibility Information
1. Eligible Applicants
Eligible applicants include federally recognized Indian tribes or
Alaska Native villages, groups, or communities as identified by the
U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA).
As evidence of Federal recognition, an Indian tribe may submit a copy
of the most up-to-date Federal Register notice published by BIA:
Entities Recognized and Eligible to Receive Service from the United
States Bureau of Indian Affairs. To be an eligible recipient, an Indian
tribe must have the requisite legal, financial, and technical
capabilities to receive and administer Federal funds under this
program. Additionally, applicants must be located and provide service
in a rural area with a population of 50,000 or less. A service area can
include some portions of urban areas, as long as the tribal transit
service begins in and serves rural areas. An applicant must be
registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database and
maintain an active SAM registration with current information at all
times during which it has an active Federal award or an application or
plan under consideration by FTA.
2. Cost Sharing or Matching
There is a 90 percent Federal share for projects selected under the
Tribal Transit Program competitive program, unless the Indian tribe can
demonstrate a financial hardship in its application. FTA is interested
in the Indian tribe's financial commitment to the proposed project;
thus, the proposal should include a description of the Indian tribe's
financial commitment. Tribes may use any eligible local match under
Chapter 53.
3. Eligible Projects
Eligible projects include public transportation planning and
capital expenses. Operating projects are eligible in limited
circumstances. In FY 2020, FTA will only consider operating assistance
requests from tribes without existing transit service, or those tribes
who received a Tribal Transit Program formula allocation of less than
$20,000 in FY 2019.
Public transportation includes regular, continuing shared-ride
surface transportation services open to the public or open to a segment
of the public defined by age, disability, or low income. FTA will award
grants to eligible Indian tribes located in rural areas. Applicants
must submit one proposal for each project. Specific types of projects
include: Capital projects for start-ups, replacement, or expansion
needs; operating assistance for start-ups; and planning projects up to
$25,000. Indian tribes applying for capital replacement or expansion
needs must demonstrate a sustainable source of operating funds for
existing or expanded services.
D. Application and Submission Information
1. Address To Request Application Package
A complete proposal submission will consist of at least two files:
(1) The SF-424 Mandatory form (downloaded from GRANTS.GOV); and (2) the
Tribal Transit supplemental form found on the FTA website at http://www.transit.dot.gov. The Tribal Transit supplemental form provides
guidance and a consistent format for applicants to respond to the
criteria outlined in this NOFO.
2. Content and Form of Application Submission
A strong transportation network is critical to the functioning and
growth of the American economy. The nation's industry depends on the
transportation network to move the goods that it produces, and
facilitate the movements of the workers who are responsible for that
production. When the nation's highways, railways, and ports function
well, that infrastructure connects people to jobs, increases the
efficiency of delivering goods and thereby cuts the costs of doing
business, reduces the burden of commuting, and improves overall well-
being.
Rural transportation networks play a vital role in supporting our
national economic vitality. Addressing the deteriorating conditions and
disproportionately high fatality rates on our rural transportation
infrastructure is of critical interest to the Department, as rural
transportation networks face unique challenges in safety,
infrastructure condition, and passenger and freight usage. Consistent
with the R.O.U.T.E.S. Initiative, the Department encourages applicants
to consider how the project will address the challenges faced by rural
areas.
(i) Proposal Submission
The supplemental form and any supporting documents must be attached
to the ``Attachments'' section of the SF-424. The application must
include responses to all sections of the SF-424 Application for Federal
Assistance and the supplemental form, unless indicated as optional. The
information on the supplemental form will be used to determine
applicant and project eligibility for the program, and to evaluate the
proposal against the selection criteria described in part E of this
notice.
FTA will only accept one supplemental form per SF-424 submission.
Applicants may attach additional supporting information to the SF-424
submission, including but not limited to letters of support, project
budgets, fleet status reports, or excerpts from relevant planning
documents. Supporting documentation must be described and referenced by
file name in the appropriate response section of the supplemental form,
or it may not be reviewed.
Information such as applicant name, Federal amount requested, local
match amount, description of areas served, etc. may be requested in
varying degrees of detail on both the SF-424 and Supplemental Form.
Applicants must fill in all fields unless stated otherwise on the
forms. Applicants should not place N/A or ``refer to attachment'' in
lieu of typing in responses in the field sections. If information is
copied into the supplemental form from another source, applicants
should verify that pasted text is fully captured on the supplemental
form and has not been truncated by the character limits built
[[Page 31595]]
into the form. Applicants should use both the ``Check Package for
Errors'' and the ``Validate Form'' validation buttons on both forms to
check all required fields on the forms, and ensure that the Federal and
local amounts specified are consistent.
Complete instructions on the application process can be found at
http://www.transit.dot.gov. Important: FTA urges applicants to submit
their project proposals at least 72 hours prior to the due date to
allow time to receive the validation message and to correct any
problems that may have caused a rejection notification. FTA will not
accept submissions after the stated submission deadline. GRANTS.GOV
scheduled maintenance and outage times are announced on the GRANTS.GOV
website at http://www.GRANTS.GOV. The deadline will not be extended due
to scheduled maintenance or outages.
Applicants are encouraged to begin the process of registration on
the GRANTS.GOV site well in advance of the submission deadline.
Registration is a multi-step process which may take several weeks to
complete before an application can be submitted. Registered applicants
may still be required to take steps to keep their registration up to
date before submissions can be made successfully: (1) Registration in
the SAM is renewed annually; and (2) persons making submissions on
behalf of the Authorized Organization Representative (AOR) must be
authorized in GRANTS.GOV by the AOR to make submissions. Applicants
must submit one proposal for each project.
Information such as applicant name, Federal amount requested,
description of areas served, and other information may be requested in
varying degrees of detail on both the SF 424 form and supplemental
form. Applicants must fill in all fields unless stated otherwise on the
forms. Applicants should use both the ``Check Package for Errors'' and
the ``Validate Form'' validation buttons on both forms to check all
required fields on the forms, and ensure that the Federal and local
amounts specified are consistent.
(ii) Application Content
The SF-424 Mandatory Form and the Supplemental Form will prompt
applicants for the required information, including:
a. Name of federally recognized tribe and, if appropriate, the
specific tribal agency submitting the application.
b. Dun and Bradstreet (D&B) Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS)
number if available.
c. Contact information including: Contact name, title, address,
phone number, and email address.
d. Description of public transportation services, including areas
currently served by the tribe, if any.
e. Name of person(s) authorized to apply on applicant's behalf must
accompany the proposal (attach a signed transmittal letter).
f. Complete Project Description: Indicate the category for which
funding is requested (i.e., project type: capital, operating, or
planning), and then indicate the project purpose (i.e., start-up,
expansion, or replacement). Describe the proposed project and what it
will accomplish (e.g., number and type of vehicles, routes, service
area, schedules, type of services, fixed route or demand responsive,
safety aspects), route miles (if fixed route), ridership numbers
expected (actual if an existing system, estimated if a new system),
major origins and destinations, population served, and whether the
tribe provides the service directly or contracts for services, and note
vehicle maintenance plans.
g. Project Timeline: Include significant milestones such as date of
contract for purchase of vehicles, actual or expected delivery date of
vehicles; facility project phases (e.g., environmental reviews, design,
construction); or dates for completion of planning studies. If applying
for operational funding for new services, indicate the period of time
that funds would be used to operate the system (e.g., one year). This
section should also include any needed timelines for tribal council
project approvals, if applicable.
h. Budget: Provide a detailed budget for each proposed purpose,
noting the Federal amount requested and any additional funds that will
be used. An Indian tribe may use up to fifteen percent of a grant award
for capital projects for specific project-related planning and
administration, and the indirect cost rate may not exceed ten percent
(if necessary, add as an attachment) of the total amount requested/
awarded. Indian tribes must also provide their annual operating budget
as an attachment or under the Financial Commitment and Operating
Capacity section of the supplemental form.
i. Technical, Legal, Financial Capacity: Applicants must be able to
demonstrate adequate technical, legal, and financial capacity to be
considered for funding. Every proposal MUST describe this capacity to
implement the proposed project.
1. Technical Capacity: Provide examples of management of other
Federal projects, including previously funded FTA projects and/or
similar types of projects for which funding is being requested.
Describe the resources available to implement the proposed transit
project.
2. Legal Capacity: Provide documentation or other evidence to
demonstrate status as a federally recognized Indian tribe. Further,
demonstrate evidence of an authorized representative with authority to
bind the applicant and execute legal agreements with FTA. If applying
for capital or operating funds, identify whether appropriate Federal or
State operating authority exists.
3. Financial Capacity: Provide documentation or other evidence
demonstrating current adequate financial systems to receive and manage
a Federal grant. Fully describe: (1) All financial systems and
controls; (2) other sources of funds currently managed; and (3) the
long-term financial capacity to maintain the proposed or existing
transit services.
3. Unique Entity Identifier and System for Award Management (SAM)
Each applicant is required to: (1) Be registered in SAM before
submitting an application; (2) provide a valid unique entity identifier
in its application; and (3) continue to maintain an active SAM
registration with current information at all times during which the
applicant has an active Federal award or an application or plan under
consideration by FTA. These requirements do not apply if the applicant:
(1) Is an individual; (2) is excepted from the requirements under 2 CFR
25.110(b) or (c); or (3) has an exception approved by FTA under 2 CFR
25.110(d). FTA may not make an award until the applicant has complied
with all applicable unique entity identifier and SAM requirements. If
an applicant has not fully complied with the requirements by the time
FTA is ready to make an award, FTA may determine that the applicant is
not qualified to receive an award and use that determination as a basis
for making a Federal award to another applicant. SAM registration takes
approximately 3-5 business days, but FTA recommends allowing ample
time, up to several weeks, for completion of all steps. For additional
information on obtaining a unique entity identifier, please visit
www.sam.gov.
4. Submission Dates and Times
Project proposals must be submitted electronically through
GRANTS.GOV by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on August 24, 2020. Mail and fax
submissions will not be accepted. Proposals submitted after
[[Page 31596]]
the deadline will not be considered under any circumstance.
Applications are time and date stamped by GRANTS.GOV upon successful
submission.
5. Funding Restrictions
Funds must be used only for the specific purposes requested in the
application. Funds under this NOFO cannot be used to reimburse projects
for otherwise eligible expenses incurred prior to an FTA award under
this 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 before announcement. FTA
does not provide pre-award authority for competitive funds until
projects are selected and even then, there are Federal requirements
that must be met before costs are incurred. For more information about
FTA's policy on pre-award authority, please see the FY 2019
Apportionment Notice published on July 3, 2019. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-07-03/pdf/2019-14248.pdf.
E. Application Review Information
1. Selection Criteria
FTA will use the following primary selection criteria when
evaluating competing capital and operating assistance projects eligible
under this program. Applications will be evaluated based on the quality
and extent to which the following evaluation criteria are addressed.
Consistent with the Department's R.O.U.T.E.S. Initiative (https://www.transportation.gov/rural), the Department recognizes that rural
transportation networks face unique challenges. To the extent that
those challenges are reflected in the merit criteria listed in the
section above, the Department will consider how the activities proposed
in the application will address those challenges, regardless of the
geographic location of those activities.
(i.) Planning and Local/Regional Prioritization
Applications will be evaluated based on the degree to which the
applicant: (1) Describes how the proposed project was developed; (2)
demonstrates that a sound basis for the project exists; and (3)
demonstrates that the applicant is ready to implement the project if
funded. Information may vary depending upon how the planning process
for the project was conducted and what is being requested. Planning and
local/regional prioritization should:
a. Describe the planning document and/or the planning process
conducted to identify the proposed project;
b. Provide a detailed project description, including the proposed
service, vehicle and facility needs, and other pertinent
characteristics of the proposed or existing service implementation;
c. Identify existing transportation services in and near the
proposed service area, and document in detail whether the proposed
project will provide opportunities to coordinate service with existing
transit services, including human service agencies, intercity bus
services, or other public transit providers;
d. Discuss the level of support by the community and/or tribal
government for the proposed project;
e. Describe how the mobility and client-access needs of tribal
human services agencies were considered in the planning process;
f. Describe what opportunities for public participation were
provided in the planning process and how the proposed transit service
or existing service has been coordinated with transportation provided
for the clients of human services agencies, with intercity bus
transportation in the area, or with any other rural public transit
providers;
g. Describe how the proposed service complements rather than
duplicates any currently available services;
h. Describe the implementation schedule for the proposed project,
including time period, staffing, and procurement; and
i. Describe any other planning or coordination efforts not
mentioned above.
(ii.) Project Readiness
Applications will be evaluated on the degree to which the applicant
describes readiness to implement the project. The project readiness
factor involves assessing whether:
a. The project is a Categorical Exclusion or the required
environmental work has been initiated or completed, for construction
projects requiring an Environmental Assessment or Environmental Impact
Statement under, among others, the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, as Amended;
b. Project implementation plans are complete, including initial
design of facilities projects;
c. Project funds can be obligated and the project can be
implemented quickly, if selected; and
d. The applicant demonstrates the ability to carry out the proposed
project successfully.
(iii.) Demonstration of Need
Applications will be evaluated based on the degree to which the
applicant identifies the need for transit resources. In addition to
project-specific criteria, FTA will consider the project's impact on
service delivery and whether the project represents a one-time or
periodic need that cannot reasonably be funded from FTA program formula
allocations or State and/or local resources. FTA will evaluate how the
proposal demonstrates the transit needs of the Indian tribe as well as
how the proposed transit improvements or the new service will address
identified transit needs. Proposals should include information such as
destinations and services not currently accessible by transit; needs
for access to jobs or health care; safety enhancements; special needs
of elders or individuals with disabilities; behavioral health care
needs of youth; income-based community needs; or other mobility needs.
If an applicant received a planning grant in previous fiscal years, the
proposal should indicate the status of the planning study and how the
proposed project relates to that study.
Applicants applying for capital expansion or replacement projects
should also address the following factors in their proposal. If the
proposal is for capital funding associated with an expansion or
expanded service, the applicant should describe how current or growing
demand for the service necessitates the expansion (and therefore, more
capital) and/or the degree to how the project is addressing a current
capacity constraint. Capital replacement projects should include
information about the age, condition, and performance of the asset to
be replaced by the proposed project and/or how the replacement may be
necessary to maintain the transit system in a state of good repair.
(iv.) Demonstration of Benefits
Applications will be evaluated based on the degree to which the
applicant identifies expected or, in the case of existing service,
achieved project benefits. FTA is particularly interested in how these
investments will improve the quality of life for the tribe and
surrounding communities in which it is located. Applicants should
describe how the transportation service or capital investment will
provide greater access to employment opportunities, educational
centers, healthcare, or other needs that impact the quality of life for
[[Page 31597]]
the community, as described in the program purpose above. Possible
examples include: Increased or sustained ridership and daily trips;
improved service; elimination of gaps in service; improved operations
and coordination; increased reliability; and health care, education,
and economic benefits to the community. Benefits can be demonstrated by
identifying the population of tribal members and non-tribal members in
the proposed project service area and estimating the number of daily
one-way trips the proposed transit service will provide or the actual
number of individual riders served. Applicants are encouraged to
consider qualitative and quantitative benefits to the Indian tribe and
to the surrounding communities that are meaningful to them.
Using the information provided under this criterion, FTA will rate
proposals based on the quality and extent to which they discuss the
following four factors:
a. The project's ability to improve transit efficiency or increase
ridership;
b. Whether the project will improve or maintain mobility, or
eliminate gaps in service for the Indian tribe;
c. Whether the project will improve or maintain access to important
destinations and services;
d. Any other qualitative benefits, such as greater access to jobs,
education, and health care services.
(v.) Financial Commitment and Operating Capacity
Applications must identify the source of local match (a minimum of
10 percent is required for all operating and capital projects), and any
other funding sources used by the Indian tribe to support proposed
transit services, including human service transportation funding, the
Federal Highway Administration's Tribal Transportation Program funding,
or other FTA programs. If requesting that FTA waive the local match
based on financial hardship, the applicant must submit budgets and
sources of other revenue to demonstrate hardship. FTA will review this
information and notify a tribe at the time of award if the waiver is
approved. If applicable, the applicant also should describe how prior
year Tribal Transit Program funds were spent to date to support the
service. Additionally, Indian tribes applying to operate new services
should provide a sustainable funding plan that demonstrates how it
intends to maintain operations.
In evaluating proposals, FTA will consider any other resources the
Indian tribe will contribute to the project, including in-kind
contributions, commitments of support from local businesses, donations
of land or equipment, and human resources. The proposal should describe
to what extent the new project or funding for existing service
leverages other funding. Based upon the information provided, the
proposals will be rated on the extent to which the proposal
demonstrates that:
a. Tribal Transit Program funding does not replace existing
funding;
b. The Indian tribe will provide non-financial support to the
project;
c. The Indian tribe is able to demonstrate a sustainable funding
plan; and
d. Project funds are used in coordination with other services for
efficient utilization of funds.
(vi.) Evaluation Criteria for Planning Proposals
For planning grants, the proposal must describe the need for and a
general scope of the proposed study. Applications will be evaluated
based on the degree to which the applicant addresses the following:
a. The tribe's long-term commitment to transit; and
b. The method used to implement the proposed study and/or further
tribal transit.
2. Review and Selection Process
An FTA technical evaluation committee will review proposals under
the project evaluation criteria. Members of the technical evaluation
committee and other involved FTA staff reserve the right to screen the
applications, and seek clarification about any statement in an
application. After consideration of the findings of the technical
evaluation committee, the FTA Administrator will determine the final
selection and amount of funding for each project. Geographic diversity,
the amount of local share, and the applicant's receipt and management
of other Federal transit funds may be considered in FTA's award
decisions.
After applying the above preferences, the FTA Administrator will
consider the following key Departmental objectives:
(A) Supporting economic vitality at the national and regional
level;
(B) Utilizing alternative funding sources and innovative financing
models to attract non-Federal sources of infrastructure investment;
(C) Accounting for the life-cycle costs of the project to promote
the state of good repair;
(D) Using innovative approaches to improve safety and expedite
project delivery; and
(E) Holding grant recipients accountable for their performance and
achieving specific, measurable outcomes identified by grant applicants.
Prior to making an award, FTA is required to review and consider
any information about the applicant that is in the Federal Awardee
Performance and Integrity Information Systems accessible through SAM.
An applicant may review and comment on any information about itself
that a Federal awarding agency previously entered.
F. Federal Award Administration Information
1. Federal Award Notice
FTA will publish a list of the selected projects, including Federal
dollar amounts and award recipients, on FTA's website. Project
recipients should contact their FTA Regional Offices and tribal liaison
for information about setting up grants in FTA's Transit Award
Management System (TrAMS).
2. Award Administration
Successful proposals will be awarded through FTA's TrAMS as grant
agreements. The appropriate FTA Regional Office and tribal liaison will
manage project agreements.
3. Administrative and National Policy Requirements
Except as otherwise provided in this NOFO, Tribal Transit Program
grants are subject to the requirements of 49 U.S.C. 5311(c)(1) as

applications for funding only from eligible recipients for eligible
projects listed in Section C of this Notice. Due to funding
limitations, applicants that are selected for funding may receive less
than the amount requested.
[[Page 31598]]
Additionally, to assist tribes with understanding requirements
under the Tribal Transit Program, FTA has conducted Tribal Transit
Technical Assistance Workshops and will continue those efforts in FY
2020. FTA has expanded its technical assistance to tribes receiving
funds under this program. Through the Tribal Transit Technical
Assistance Assessments Initiative, FTA collaborates with Tribal Transit
Leaders to review processes and identify areas in need of improvement,
and then assists to offer solutions to address these needs--all in a
supportive and mutually beneficial manner that results in technical
assistance. FTA has completed over fifty assessments to date and
expects to conduct sixteen assessments in FY 2020. These assessments
include discussions of compliance areas pursuant to the Master
Agreement, a site visit, promising practices reviews, and technical
assistance from FTA and its contractors. These workshops and
assessments have received excellent feedback from Tribal Transit
Leaders and provided FTA with invaluable opportunities to learn more
about Tribal Transit Leaders' perspectives and better honor the
sovereignty of tribal nations.
FTA will post information about upcoming workshops to its website
and will disseminate information about the assessments through its
regional offices. Contact information for FTA's regional offices can be
found on FTA's website at www.transit.dot.gov.
Applicants may also receive technical assistance by contacting
their FTA regional Tribal Liaison. A list of Tribal Liaisons is
available on FTA's website at www.transit.dot.gov.
