public agencies and instrumentalities of one or more states; and certain public corporations, boards, and commissions established under state law. Funds are allocated on a discretionary basis. <em>Source: Federal Transit Administration (FTA).</em></p> <p>This program allows Congressional Representatives and Senators to sponsor and direct funds towards a particular project of relevance. Examples have included local transportation centers, transit-oriented design projects or expansions of bus fleets or rolling stock. These are often done via the "earmark" process, and authorities and agencies interested in participation should contact their local US Congressional Delegation. NYSDOT usually contributes 10% of total project cost, subject to the nature of the earmark.</p> </SPAN> </TD></TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN="1" style="width:100%;" ><IMG SRC="/images/pobtrans.gif" height="10" width="1" alt="" style="display:block"></TD> </TR> </TABLE></TD> </TR> </TABLE>  </div> </div> <div id="mainboxbottom"> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="nys-global-footer"> <div class="footer-container"> <h3>Department of Transportation</h3> <div class="footer-col"> <h4>Information</h4> <ul> <li><a href="https://511ny.org/" target=_blank>511NY</a></li> <li><a href="/main/business-center/audit/dbe-certification">DBE Certification</a></li> <li><a href="/business">Contracting Opportunities</a></li> <li><a href="/main/foil-form-challenge">Freedom of Information Law (FOIL)</a></li> <li><a href="/modal/pedestrian">Pedestrian</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.dot.ny.gov/permits">Permits</a></li> <li><a href="/projects">Projects in Your Neighborhood</a></li> <li><a href="/divisions/engineering/real-estate/propertyforsale">Real Estate for Sale</a></li> <li><a href="/transportation-partners">Transportation Partners</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="footer-col"> <h4>Design/Construction</h4> <ul> <li><a href="/divisions/engineering/technical-services/materials-bureau" target="_parent">Approved Materials List</a></li> <li><a href="/divisions/engineering/structures">Bridge Manuals and Information</a></li> <li><a href="/divisions/engineering/design/dqab/hdm">Highway Design Manual</a></li> <li><a href="/bids-and-lettings/construction-contractors/general-info">Lettings</a></li> <li><a href="/divisions/engineering/technical-services/materials-bureau" target="_parent">New Product Evaluation Application</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.dot.ny.gov/main/business-center/contractors/construction-division">Office of Construction</a></li> <li><a href="/main/business-center/engineering/specifications/pay-item-catalog">Pay Item Catalog</a></li> <li><a href="/main/business-center/engineering/specifications">Specifications</a></li> <li><a href="/main/business-center/engineering/cadd-info/drawings/standard-sheets-us">Standard Sheets - US Customary</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="footer-col"> <h4>Web</h4> <ul> <li><a href="/site-index">A-Z Index</a></li> <li><a href="/main/legal-disclaimer">Legal Disclaimer</a></li> <li><a href="/main/privacy-policy">Privacy</a></li> <li><a href="/main/accessibility">Web Accessibility</a></li> <script type="text/javascript"> var userAg = navigator.userAgent;
