20.530 -- Public Transportation Innovation
Description
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announces the opportunity to apply for $10 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 for projects that enhance mobility innovation for transit under the Public Transportation Innovation Program (49 U.S.C. 5312). The strategic goal for this program is to make existing and new buses safer for their operators and vulnerable road users, and safer and more accessible for their passengers. The Bus Safety and Accessibility Research Program seeks proposals to research standard bus designs, safety innovations and systems, and bus compartments that support these safety and accessibility goals. Additionally, this NOFO will require the development of detailed design specifications and production of a prototype that is available through a retrofit on existing buses and for installation in new buses.
