The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has allocated the $14 billion provided through the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 (CRRSAA), which was signed into law at the end of December. The law mandated the funds be allocated within 30 days of enactment and the FTA completed the task more than two weeks ahead of the deadline. This is the second round of emergency relief funding provided to the U.S. transit industry following the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which was signed at the end of March 2020 and provided $25 billion to the industry. Funding through CRRSAA, like the CARES Act, is at 100-percent federal share with no local match required. CRRSAA provides $13.27 billion for urbanized area formula funds, $678.2 million allocated to rural areas and tribes and $50 million allocated for the enhanced mobility of seniors and individuals with disabilities. |
