Capital and Training Assistance for Over-the-Road Bus Accessibility Program
The U. S. Department of Transportations (DOT) Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announces the availability of funds in Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 for the Over-the-Road Bus Accessibility (OTRB) Program, initially authorized by Section 3038 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21).
The OTRB program makes funds available to private operators of over-the-road buses to finance the incremental capital and training costs of complying with DOTs over-the-road bus accessibility regulation.
The authorizing legislation calls for national solicitation of proposals, with grantees to be selected on a competitive basis.
Program funds are available to intercity fixed-route providers and other OTRB providers at up to 90 percent of the project cost.
