My State is working to obtain an independent 20% match. Can my State receive funding from the rail transit agency and participate in this grant program?

No. We appreciate that several States are still working to identify the source of their local matching funds; however, a State cannot apply for a grant under FTA's MAP-21 SSO program while, at the same time, receiving funding from the rail transit agency. However, no State or any other agency should deprive a SSOA of the funds it needs to ensure the safety of public transportation during this transition period. FTA therefore expects a clear transition plan for the SSOA to attain financial independence.
