Transit project grants could cover up to 85% with business protections

Grant recipients may receive grants of up to 85% of the applicable project cost. This applies to new fixed guideway, core capacity improvement, and small start projects, and to small-business owners in areas where project-related transportation interruptions are expected. Recipients must agree to give each affected business owner a dedicated project contact, regular updates about the project and interruptions, and extra signs guiding customers during interruption periods. For core capacity projects, the 85% limit applies to the incremental cost of increasing capacity in the corridor.
