Opportunity Information: Apply for FTA 2022 008 TPM FERRYRURAL
The FY 2022 Competitive Funding Opportunity: Ferry Service for Rural Communities Program is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Through this program, FTA offered a total of $208.9 million (about $209 million) to support ferry services that operate in rural communities. The program is listed under Federal Assistance Listing (formerly CFDA) number 20.532, and it is designed to strengthen and sustain ferry transportation where it plays an essential role in connecting rural residents to jobs, schools, health care, and other critical services.
The funding is awarded through a competitive selection process rather than by formula, meaning eligible applicants submit proposals and FTA selects a limited number of projects for awards based on the merits of the applications and the program's priorities. The opportunity anticipated roughly 10 total awards, reflecting relatively large, project-scale grants rather than many small awards. The published award ceiling was $209,000,000, which aligns with the total funding amount available for the competition.
The program allows grant funds to be used for a mix of ferry-related needs, including capital assistance, planning assistance, and operating assistance for eligible ferry services. In practical terms, "capital" can include major investments tied to ferry service delivery (for example, vessels, docks, terminals, maintenance facilities, and other fixed assets), while "planning" supports the studies and project development work needed to design, improve, or expand service. "Operating assistance" supports the day-to-day costs of running eligible ferry service, which is particularly important in rural settings where fare revenue alone often cannot sustain reliable service levels.
Eligibility is limited primarily to state governments and U.S. territories where an eligible ferry service is operated. The source information describes eligible applicants as "States and territories in which eligible service is operated," with the listing also noting "State governments" and "Others" as applicant categories. In other words, the program is structured so that the state or territorial government is the core applicant, even if the ferry service itself is delivered by another entity; the key condition is that the ferry service being supported must be eligible under the program and operate within that state or territory.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted with Funding Opportunity Number FTA 2022 008 TPM FERRYRURAL and categorized as a discretionary transportation grant. It was created on July 8, 2022, and had an original application closing date of September 6, 2022.Apply for FTA 2022 008 TPM FERRYRURAL
