Categorical Exclusion Classification Of Capital Projects Checklist The following checklist identifies transit projects that are considered Categorical Exclusions (CEs) by FTA. Please check the category or categories under which your project should be classified. If your project does not fall under any of the standard categories, but you feel it meets the criterion of a CE (the project will have no significant impact on the environment), then provide project information justifying a CE classification. The ________________________________ capital project is a categorical exclusion because it is for: (Name of Applicant) [ ] Planning and technical studies which will not fund the construction of facilities or acquisition of capital equipment. [ ] Engineering to define the elements of a proposal or alternatives sufficiently so that environmental effects can be assessed. [ ] Ridesharing activities and transportation corridor fringe parking facilities. [ ] Program administration and technical assistance activities by the applicant to administer Section 5311/5339 [ ] Project administration and operating assistance to continue existing service or increase service to meet demand. [ ] Purchase of vehicles of the same type (same mode) either as replacements or to increase the size of the fleet where such increase can be accommodated by existing facilities or by new facilities which themselves are within a categorical exclusion. [ ] Rehabilitation or reconstruction of existing rail and bus buildings and ancillary facilities where no additional land is required and there is no substantial increase in the number of users. [ ] Purchase and installation of operating or maintenance equipment to be located within the transit facility and with no significant physical impacts off the site where the facility is located. [ ] Installation of signs, small passenger and bus shelters, and traffic signs where no substantial land acquisition or traffic disruption will occur. [ ] Construction of new bus storage and maintenance facilities in used predominantly for industrial or transportation purposes where such construction is not inconsistent with existing zoning and located on or near a street with adequate capacity to handle anticipated bus and support vehicle traffic. [ ] Acquisition of land in which the property will not be modified, the land use will not be changed, and displacements will not occur. For projects other than FTA advance land loans, this categorical exclusion is limited to the acquisition of minor amounts of land. This is undertaken for the purpose of maintaining the current land use and preserving alternatives to be considered
