The Council receives federal funding — primarily from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) — to support locally planned, constructed and operated public transportation systems. The Council is responsible for managing federally-funded transit projects in accordance with federal requirements.
Some projects are implemented by subrecipients (or subgrantees) through FTA financial assistance awarded by the Council. Managing Federally Funded Projects: A Project Manager's Guide (119 pages, pdf) provides both Council staff and subrecipients with guidelines on all aspects of the grant process, from initial application through invoicing and reporting requirements.
