The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) was awarded a $823,289 Formula Grant under the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Rail Fixed Guideway Public Transportation System State Safety Oversight Formula Grant Program (CFDA 20.528). The purpose of this award is to provide funding for TDOT, the designated State Safety Oversight Agency (SSOA) in Tennessee, to implement the state's safety oversight program for rail transit agencies. The grant will support consultant services, administrative activities, and the purchase of a vehicle to facilitate TDOT's transition to a MAP-21 compliant SSOA program. The key expected outcomes are to ensure all safety requirements of the SSOA and rail transit agencies are met, benefiting the safety oversight and ridership of all rail transit systems across the state of Tennessee. The grant has an award date of March 26, 2025 and an ultimate completion date of March 30, 2034.
