State of Good Repair Grants Program

The State of Good Repair Program (49 U.S.C. 5337) provides formula funding to assist in financing capital projects for existing fixed guideway systems (including rail, bus rapid transit, and passenger ferries) and high intensity motorbus systems (buses operating in high-occupancy vehicle [HOV] lanes) to maintain public transportation systems in a state of good repair and to ensure public transit operates safely, efficiently, reliably, and sustainably so that communities can offer balanced transportation choices that helps to improve mobility, reduce congestion, and encourage economic development. Capital projects must be in a Transit Asset Management (TAM) plan and this funding source can be used to develop a Transit Asset Management (TAM) plan. The Competitive Rail Vehicle Replacement Grant (49 U.S.C. 5337(f)) is a discretionary grant program to assist in financing the replacement of rail rolling stock.
