MATCH REQUIREMENTS Farebox revenue is not an eligible match for operating costs; however, revenues from service contracts can be used as local match. Federal funding for any selected project will not exceed 80% in capital projects and 50% in net operating assistance. A project with a mix of capital and operating budgets will have to match each individual line item at the appropriate match level. Capital projects include planning and mobility management. No grant will be officially awarded (i.e., funding agreement signed) until the local match requirements are met and identified by the applicant. Failure to do so in a timely manner may result in the reallocation of funds to another project. GRANT ACTIVITY Selected projects will only be eligible for reimbursement of expenses made during the designated federal grant period. The federal grant period does not start until funds are awarded from the FTA, through either pre-award authority or a federal grant award. The grant activity period for this solicitation will begin October 1, 2013, or later. This grant activity period is subject to change so the utmost flexibility is encouraged among program applicants.
