Section 1201(c) Reporting

U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) grant recipients that had received funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) through 7/31/09 were required to submit a report on progress implementing their grants pursuant to the requirements of Section 1201(c) of the Recovery Act. FTA grantees submitted their reports in August 2009 and U.S. DOT consolidated the data into a report transmitted to Congress in September 2009. The 1201(c) reports cover grant activity through 7/31/09.

Section 1512 Reporting

All recipients of ARRA grant funding through 9/30/09 were required to submit a report on progress implementing their grants pursuant to the requirements of Section 1512 of the Recovery Act. Direct recipients submitted reports in October 2009 through http://www.federalreporting.gov/, a central government wide reporting portal provided by the Recovery Act Accountability and Transparency Board, in coordination with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Section 1512 report information can be found at http://www.recovery.gov/. FTA has formatted data from the reports submitted by FTA recipients for your convenience. The Section 1512 reports cover grant activity through 9/30/09.
