Funding for the Central City BRT project is provided through FTA’s CIG Program, which provides funding for major transit infrastructure projects nationwide.
The agency will strike a $790 million FFGA, along with a $629 million TIFIA loan to complete the Federal Way line light rail extension.
The project expands BRT service by 1.8 miles from its current northern endpoint in downtown to the University of Nevada, Reno.
With current and future projects seeking $27 billion in funds, Congress urged to provide funding at or above FY2019 levels.
The funding represents a significant commitment toward pending multi-year Full Funding Agreements for the projects.
When the project is complete, all stations on these lines will be able to accommodate three-car trains.
In addition to the allocation announcement, FTA is also advancing the project into the Engineering phase.
The line will connect riders along the route to major job centers, including downtown Minneapolis.
The total amount of the contract with contingency funding is $1.4 billion.
Does not allow the FRA to take back the $2.5 billion in funding that has been provided to the California High-Speed Rail Project.
