Program Content/Learning Objectives
Funding from the Federal government continues to play an important role in the ability of transit authorities to finance capital projects. Over the last several years, policies used to distribute that funding have changed. This workshop will concentrate on reviewing some of those changes and making participants aware of how those changes can affect their ability to provide capital projects. After attending this conference, participants will be able to:
Understand how the FTA's new charter regulations will affect the ability of their agencies to provide special services.
Understand how new grant programs like Job Access Reverse Commute and New Freedom Initiative can be successfully implemented.
Understand the USDOT's National Strategy to Reduce Congestion and what it means to their agencies in obtaining discretionary funding for capital projects.
Understand how software can assist in allocating available funding to infrastructure needs on the basis of the established capital programs goals and objectives.
Identify issues with the National Transit Database and determine best practices in developing and sharing industry-wide benchmarking data.
Identify and share best practices through "Needs & Leads.
