Docket No. FTA 99-5474
Abstract
The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) requires the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to issue regulations on the manner in which candidate projects for capital investment grants and loans for new fixed guideway systems and extensions to existing systems ("new starts") will be evaluated and rated. This rule describes the procedures that FTA will use in the project evaluation and rating process. This rule will enable FTA and Congress to identify those new starts projects that should be considered for funding, in part, by the Federal government.
