49 U.S.C. Section 5339 Bus and Bus
Facilities Program OMB Control No.:
2132–0576
49 U.S.C. Section 5339—Bus and Bus
Facilities Formula Program, was
originally authorized by the Moving
Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century
(MAP–21). The program was
reauthorized under the Fixing America’s
Surface Transportation (FAST) Act
Section 3017. This program authorizes
the Secretary of Transportation to
provide funding to replace, rehabilitate
and purchase buses and related
equipment and to construct bus-related
facilities including technological
changes or innovations to modify low or
no emission vehicles or facilities.
Funding is provided through formula
allocations and competitive grants. Two
competitive grant programs were added:
5339(b) for bus and bus facility projects
and 5339(c) for bus and bus facility
projects that support low and zeroemission vehicles. Eligible recipients
include 5307 Direct Recipients, States
and Federally Recognized Tribes.
Eligible sub-recipients include those
recipients that receive a grant under the
formula or discretionary programs and
may allocate amounts from the grant to
sub-recipients that are public agencies
or private nonprofit organizations
engaged in public transportation.
Recipients apply for grants
electronically and FTA collects
milestone and financial status reports
from designated recipients and states on
a quarterly basis. The information
submitted ensures FTA’s compliance
with applicable federal laws.
