Welcome, new grant recipients. You have probably just received your first Federal Transit Administration (FTA) congressional earmark. You have probably also made first contact with someone at the Regional Office. We now need to begin the process of establishing your organization as a recipient for FTA funds. As a new recipient organization, there are several steps that need to be completed before FTA can award a grant to your organization. You will also need to contact various people at the FTA regional office over the course of this process who have different areas of responsibility. Please click on the link to the General New Grantee Package to initiate the procedures for becoming a FTA grant recipient.
1. General Package - This package applies to grant recipients through most of our programs (e.g., 5309 Bus and Bus Facilities earmarks, etc.).
