On behalf of rural transit agencies and participating urban transit agencies, the department submitted a statewide application and was awarded $11,628,120 under the FTA’s §5309 federal discretionary grant program. On December 14, 2006, the commission passed Minute Order 110771, expressing its intent to award Transportation Development Credits (TDC) that will promote public transportation capital infrastructure projects: fleet replacement, fleet expansion, maintenance facilities; and capital projects that support regional coordination. Title 43, Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §5.73 establishes the process for which TDC may be awarded at the discretion of the commission. The commission finds that the projects listed in Exhibit A are eligible for funding and desires to award $11,628,120 of federal §5309 funds and $1,624,183 in TDC to rural and participating urban transit districts for fleet replacement in accordance with TAC §31.16. All projects, including those receiving TDC awards, will reduce congestion and expand economic opportunity by improving reliable transit options thereby increasing levels of ridership, specifically for the transit dependent populations, to jobs and other related activities; enhance safety by reducing mechanical breakdowns; improve air quality by reducing emissions through technological advances; and increase the value of the transportation assets by investing into the replacement of depreciated rolling stock thus yielding savings or efficiencies which can be reinvested into additional trips. Transportation Code, Chapter 455 assigns a broad spectrum of public transportation roles and missions to the department. Transportation Code, Chapter 456 authorizes the commission to administer funds appropriated for public transportation. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED by the commission that the executive director or the director's designee is directed to proceed with the awards as described in Exhibit A, submit the necessary state application to the FTA and enter into the necessary contracts.
