    Boebert hasn’t secured 51.4 million dollars for this bridge.

    The money came from a Biden-Harris grant that is part of

    the “Rural Surface Transportation Grant Program”, which itself

    is a part of the“Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act”

    which Boebert voted against.

    USDOT announces $780m in Rural Surface Transportation Grants
    Written by Rachel DiSalvo | Apr 3, 2024 8:00:00 PM
    Americans living in rural areas often suffer from inadequate transportation infrastructure, particularly public transit. Recognizing the need for targeted investments in rural transportation, Congress created the Rural Surface Transportation Program (“Rural”) in 2022 as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) to provide funds to improve mobility in rural communities.

    On March 25, 2024, the Department of Transportation announced a new round of the Rural program, totaling $780 million, along with an additional $4.4 billion for the National Infrastructure Project Assistance (MEGA) and Rebuilding America (INFRA) capital assistance programs, totaling $5.1 billion altogether. Although these programs have been combined into a single Notice of Funding Opportunity, each is a distinct funding stream which can be applied to separately. This NOFO combines funding for the 2025 and 2026 fiscal years.

    Learn more

    Via believes safe, accessible, and equitable transit should be available to all. Rural governments have long struggled to fund transit services and infrastructure, leaving many individuals dependent on cars or without adequate mobility options. Rural Surface Transportation grants can be used to address this challenge by funding a broad range of transportation projects; “on-demand mobility systems” such as microtransit are specifically identified as eligible. A well-designed microtransit service can cover a large, low-density area with a high quality of service, without the expense of running underutilized fixed routes, making microtransit a particularly attractive solution for rural areas.

    States, local governments, tribal governments, transit agencies and regional transportation planning organizations may apply for funding for projects located in rural areas, which is defined in this program as any area except a Census-designated urbanized area with more than 200,000 population. In other words, non-urbanized areas or urbanized areas with a population of less than 200,000 are both considered “rural.” Furthermore, a project may include some non-rural areas so long as the majority of project costs are spent in rural areas.

    10% of funds, or $78 million, are reserved for small projects under $25 million in size. The remaining 90% is reserved for projects greater than $25 million in size. The grant will cover up to 80% of capital costs for eligible projects. In addition, the Department of Transportation will allow applicants to use the FTA’s capital cost of contracting rule to consider some portion of a transportation contract with a private entity as a capital cost. For a turnkey microtransit contract, 50% of the contract may be considered as capital cost, meaning that the Rural grant will cover at least 40% of the total project cost, inclusive of operations.

    DOT will evaluate proposals on six criteria:

    Economic benefit to the community
    Impact on climate change, resiliency, and the environment
    Improvement of equity, quality of life, and transportation access
    Improvement of safety
    Maintenance of a state of good repair
    Demonstration of innovative project delivery and financing approaches.
    For small projects (under $25 million), only three criteria will be considered: safety; climate change, resiliency, and the environment; and equity, quality of life, and transportation access.

    More detailed information about the grant, including selection criteria and eligible projects, can be found in the Notice of Funding Opportunity here. For information on how to apply, please see the program page here. If you’re interested in applying to launch a TransitTech-enabled service like the ones mentioned above, please reach out to our team at partnerships@ridewithvia.org. We would love to support your efforts.

    Applications are due May 6, 2024.

    y'all apparently have no problem with people taking credit for things today

    that in real time they opposed.

    Just so we are square
    //////

    Same people yelling in your ear what a failure Biden has been

    Wonder how many of you ar reaping rewards of Infrastructure bill ?

    Remember Trumps Infrastructure Week.
    (or what real people call a bait and switch)

    So what was in Trumps Infrastructure bill ?

    Just left ATL and was astonished the number road and bridge projects
    Hmm

    Taking for granted you each will go around these projects once completed

    because taking credit for ill gotten gains is trending a pattern
    //////

    I'll wait on an answer away from here while you 3 or 4 post Trump bought and paid for polls.
    Cuz I got better schit to do

    I don't believe I have personally benefitted from anything Pedo Joe has done.

    What infrastructure specifically might I be enjoying thanks to that socialism?

    what a selfish little prick you've turned into

    Living in Texas I doubt you see any.
    Your Governor if I'm not mistaken makes a show of turning down highly publicized Federal dollars.
    Under the radar $$, not so much

    No reaping rewards in TN either.

    The economy is pretty trash at the moment. And the majority of Americans agree with that statement.
