Description
Description | The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) proposed removing the "social cost of carbon" calculation criteria from the Capital Investment Grants (CIG) program guidelines. The CIG program is the largest discretionary grant program in the U.S. for funding capital investments in transit projects such as heavy rail, commuter rail, light rail, streetcars, and bus rapid transit. The proposal aims to simplify the Environmental Benefits section by reverting to the previous methodology based on EPA National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) designations. |
