Description
The Arizona Department of Transportation’s Multimodal Planning Division administers a competitive application combining two Federal Transit Administration programs. Section 5307 makes funding available for transit capital projects, operating assistance in eligible urbanized areas, and transit planning, engineering, design, and evaluation. Small-urban 5307 allocations that direct recipients do not reserve enter the competitive pool.
Section 5339 funds buses, vans, related equipment, and bus-related facilities, including rehabilitation, construction, and eligible technological changes. Its small-urban and statewide funding categories serve different applicants. Competitive awards are one-time operating or capital project funds; ADOT prioritizes capital projects ready to procure or construct.
