Can Section 5309 Discretionary Grants for Urban Circulators be used for the purchase of new buses, streetcars, trains or other vehicles?
Section 5309 Discretionary Grants for Urban Circulators can be used for the purchase of new buses, streetcars, trains or other vehicles only if the vehicles are an element of an urban circulator project that includes construction of a new fixed guidway, an extension to an existing fixed guidway, or a corridor based bus system. FTA will not award Urban Circulator grants solely for vehicle acquisitions. A project sponsor could use the entire award for vehicle acquisition if the vehicle acquisition were part of an urban circulator project.
