This $661,676 Formula Grant award from the Federal Transit Administration's Rail Fixed Guideway Public Transportation System State Safety Oversight Formula Grant Program (CFDA 20.528) provides funding to the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) to support the state's oversight of the Tide light rail system in the Hampton Roads area.
The grant funding will be used to cover the personnel costs and administrative expenses for the one DRPT staff member responsible for compliance with the State Safety Oversight (SSO) program. It will also provide DRPT with consultant services necessary to assist this staff member in carrying out effective oversight of the Tide light rail system to ensure its continued safe operation. The expected outcome is that this funding will permit DRPT to continue its ongoing oversight and compliance monitoring of the Virginia SSO program standards.
