Abstract:
The Fixed Guideway Capital Investment Grant (CIG) grant program provides funding for major transit capital investments including rapid rail, light rail, commuter rail, bus rapid transit, and ferries. Projects currently eligible for funding under this program include; smaller scaled corridor-based transit capital projects known as “Small Starts” and new fixed guideway transit systems and extensions to existing fixed guideway systems known as “New Starts”. MAP-21 made significant changes to the CIG program, including the creation of an entirely new category of eligible projects called Core Capacity. The revision to this ICR is a result of a third category of projects being added to the program and changes to the steps in the CIP process.

Short Statement:
The number of burden hours estimated differs from the current approval to reflect the changes made in the proposed interim policy guidance including the new core capacity project eligibility and the large increase overall in the number of projects seeking CIG funding as experienced over the past two years since the previous collection was prepared. The proposed interim policy guidance includes the proposed implementation of core capacity, a newly proposed congestion relief measure, and details on the proposed requirements for getting into and through the steps in the CIG process. These items have increased the burden hour calculations. Additionally, the fast-paced growth in the number of overall projects seeking CIG funding over the past two years increased the number of respondents.
