Abstract:This report provides information on projects funded by the Federal Transit Administration’s Section 5314 program for FY 2015, including detailed FY funding information on FTA’s technical assistance and standards projects that further key public transportation goals in accordance with Federal public transportation law. FTA issues grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements under Section 5314 to achieve impacts to 1) more effectively and efficiently provide public transportation service and 2) improve public transportation. Projects in Section 5314 promoted FTA’s strategic goals of economic competitiveness, environmental sustainability, and improving the quality of life in communities. Technical Assistance projects in FY 2015 aimed to provide and coordinate transportation services to promote the mobility of older adults and people with disabilities, further mobility management, support the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), expand access to transportation for people of limited incomes, and improve public transportation. Standards Development projects in FY 2015 aimed to create safety education programs to prevent accidents with public transit trains. Technical assistance and standards development projects were awarded to academic institutions, public transportation associations, nonprofits, and other leading organizations in various public transportation disciplines. This mix of local, state, regional, and national grantees ensured a spectrum of perspectives that enhanced the reliability, validity, and generalizability of technical assistance and standard development projects.
