- Additional Information on Eligibility
- Eligible proposers and eventual grant applicants under this initiative must be designated recipients or eligible direct recipients
of Section 5307 funds which include public entities engaged in providing a public transportation passenger ferry service. If the
recipient is eligible to receive 5307 funds, but does not currently have an active grant with FTA, upon selection, the recipient will be
required to work with the FTA regional office to establish its organization as an active grantee. This process may require additional documentation to support technical, financial, and legal capacity. Ferry systems that accommodate cars must also accommodate walk-on passengers in order to be eligible for funding.
