Any transit agency in the United States that wishes to upgrade their systems to Futurefleet™ is now eligible for a new Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding opportunity. On June 27, the FTA issued a Notice of Funding Availability for $175 million in livability grants to help communities develop better transit options.
At least $150 million in Section 5309 Bus and Bus Facilities funds are available for projects that support the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Livability Initiative. Real-time Passenger Information systems like Avego Futurefleet™ are an eligible use of this funding.
Proposals must be submitted by July 29, 2011, and will require a 20% non-Federal match. Priority will be given to projects that fulfill the livability principles that serve as the foundation for the DOT-HUD-EPA Partnership for Sustainable Communities.
