Opportunity Information: Apply for FTA 2025 002 TRI
The FY 2025 Competitive Funding Opportunity: Technology Transfer (T2) Program (Funding Opportunity Number: FTA 2025 002 TRI) is a discretionary Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant competition under the U.S. Department of Transportation. FTA is making up to $5,000,000 available using Public Transportation Innovation Program funds authorized under 49 U.S.C. 5312 and drawn from FY 2022, FY 2023, and FY 2024 appropriations. The agency expects to make a single award, and the funding will be issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient will carry out the work with substantial involvement from FTA rather than operating entirely independently.
The purpose of this opportunity is to select an organization to develop and manage a new FTA Technology Transfer (T2) Program. In practical terms, this is aimed at strengthening the pipeline that moves useful public transportation innovations from research, pilots, and proven practices into broader real-world adoption across transit agencies and the industry. The awardee would be responsible for setting up and operating the program framework and day-to-day management functions, with the goal of helping transit stakeholders access, understand, and implement relevant technologies, tools, methods, and evidence-based practices supported by FTA or the broader transit innovation ecosystem.
Eligible applicants span a wide range of public, nonprofit, academic, and private-sector entities. Eligible applicant types include state, county, and city/township governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); and small businesses. The funding activity category is Transportation, and the associated CFDA/Assistance Listing number is 20.530, which aligns with FTA transit-related financial assistance.
The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $5,000,000, and FTA anticipates making one total award, indicating a single lead organization will be chosen to stand up and administer the T2 Program at a national or program-wide level rather than distributing many smaller grants. The original application closing date listed for the opportunity is February 11, 2025, and the opportunity record shows a creation date of December 3, 2024.Apply for FTA 2025 002 TRI
