SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) announces the
selection of projects to be funded under
Fiscal Year 2005 appropriations for the
Over-the-Road Bus (OTRB) Accessibility
Program, authorized by Section 3038 of
the Transportation Equity Act for the
21st Century (TEA–21). The OTRB
Accessibility Program makes funds
available to private operators of over-
the-road buses to help finance the
incremental capital and training costs of
complying with DOT’s over-the-road
bus accessibility rule, published in the
Federal Register on September 24, 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The
appropriate FTA Regional
Administrator for grant-specific issues;
or Blenda Younger, Office of Program
Management, (202) 366–2053, for
general information about the OTRB
Program.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A total of
$6.9 million was made available for the
program in FY 2005: $5.2 million for
intercity fixed-route providers and $1.7
million for all other providers, such as
commuter, charter, and tour operators.
A total of 120 applicants requested
$33.7 million: $19.5 million was
requested by intercity fixed-route
providers, and $14.2 million was
requested by all other providers. Project
selections were made on a discretionary
basis, based on each applicant’s
responsiveness to statutory project
selection criteria, fleet size, and level of
funding received in previous years.
Because of the high demand for the
funds available, most applicants
received less funding than they
requested, but almost all qualified
applicants received some funding. The
selected projects will provide funding
for the incremental cost of adding lifts
to 72 new vehicles, retrofitting 122
vehicles, and $53,099 for training. Each
of the following 93 awardees, as well as
the 27 applicants who were not selected
for funding, will receive a letter that
explains how funding decisions were
made.
