Opportunity Information: Apply for FTA 2023 009 TPM ER
The FY 2023 Emergency Relief Grants for Public Transportation Systems Affected by Major Declared Disasters in Calendar Years 2017, 2020, 2021, and 2022 is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). It makes $212,301,048 available under the Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program (CFDA 20.527) to help public transit providers and related governmental entities address the impacts of major disasters that received federal disaster declarations during calendar years 2017, 2020, 2021, and 2022. The core purpose of the funding is to support the transit-specific costs of responding to, recovering from, and rebuilding after these declared events so that affected communities can restore safe, reliable public transportation service and repair or replace damaged transit assets.
Eligible applicants include state governments, counties, cities or townships, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and other eligible FTA recipients (the program notes that additional eligibility clarification may be provided in the full notice). In practice, this generally targets transit agencies and public authorities responsible for transit service and infrastructure that suffered damage or incurred eligible emergency-related costs as a result of qualifying disasters. The funding is awarded as grants, and FTA indicated an expectation of roughly 45 awards, reflecting that funds will likely be distributed across multiple jurisdictions and transit systems rather than concentrated in a small number of very large awards. No single award ceiling is specified, which typically signals that award size will depend on documented need, eligibility of costs, and available funding relative to the pool of requests.
The types of projects supported are those tied directly to disaster impacts on public transportation systems. This can include immediate disaster response activities (such as emergency protective measures undertaken to address imminent threats and maintain or restore service), longer-term recovery work (like cleanup, temporary repairs, and restoring operations), and rebuilding efforts (including repair, reconstruction, or replacement of transit facilities, equipment, and infrastructure damaged or destroyed by the disaster). The key is that costs must be connected to major declared disasters within the specified calendar years and must align with the Emergency Relief Program requirements and any priorities laid out in the Notice of Availability of Emergency Relief Funding.
A major boundary of this opportunity is that costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic are explicitly not eligible for these funds. That means applicants cannot use this particular funding to cover pandemic-driven operating shortfalls, cleaning and sanitization programs, PPE purchases tied to COVID-19, or other pandemic response expenses. The program is narrowly focused on disaster declarations other than COVID-19 and on physical and operational impacts to public transit systems stemming from those declared events.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on March 27, 2023, with an original application deadline of May 26, 2023. It is identified by Funding Opportunity Number FTA 2023 009 TPM ER and is categorized under Transportation as a discretionary grant program. FTA stated it will distribute funding consistent with the Emergency Relief Program eligibility rules while also applying the priorities described in the formal notice, which typically means applicants should be prepared to document the disaster declaration connection, clearly define eligible scope, substantiate costs or cost estimates, and explain how the proposed work supports restoration and resilience of public transportation service following the disaster.Apply for FTA 2023 009 TPM ER
