The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announces the availability of up to $25.7 million in discretionary Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 and 2010 funds under the Alternatives Analysis Program (49 U.S.C. 5339) authorized by the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy For Users (SAFETEA-LU), Public Law 109-59, August 10, 2005. Discretionary program funds will be distributed in accordance with the mission of this program and in support of the Department of Transportation’s Livability Initiative. This announcement and application instructions are available on the FTA website at: http://fta/funding/grants_financing_7829.html and in the Federal Register shown in the link below. FTA will announce final selections on the Web site and in the Federal Register. Complete proposals must be submitted electronically through the GRANTS.GOV Web site by July 12, 2010. Registering with GRANTS.GOV is a one-time process; however, processing delays may occur and it can take up to several weeks for first-time registrants to receive confirmation and a user password. Therefore, applicants should start the registration process as early as possible to prevent delays that may preclude submitting an application by the deadline.
