This program, authorized pursuant to Section 14-k of the New York State Transportation Law, provides funds for capital improvements to rail freight & passenger facilities, port facilities, aviation facilities, local roads and bridges, and fixed ferry facilities.
ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS:
Applicants may include but are not limited to municipal corporations; municipal and privately-owned airports; State, municipal, or privately-owned ports; rail freight and intercity rail passenger operators; State, municipal, or privately-owned ports; and municipal and privately-owned ferry lines.
ELIGIBLE PROJECT TYPES:
Transportation Multi-Modal (MM) funding is limited to Highway (including bridges), Airport, Railroad, Port, and Fixed Ferry Facility "modal" categories. Each category has its own capital project work type and sponsorship eligibility requirements. MM funding is not available for Transit (e.g., bus, trolley, intra-city subway) or Maritime (e.g., ferry boat or marine vessel) transportation projects.
All projects must be primarily for an eligible public transportation purpose and use. It is not sufficient that certain transportation capital projects merely be "open to public access" or otherwise provide only partial or minor public use. All projects must have a continuous service life of ten (10) or more years following project completion and NYSDOT reimbursement.
Highway/Bridge Projects
- Transportation Multi-Modal funding is for project costs of construction, reconstruction, enhancement, improvement, replacement, reconditioning, restoration, rehabilitation and preservation of State, county, town, city and village roads, highways, parkways and bridges. Transportation Multi-Modal Program funds cannot be used for the required local match on federally funded projects.
- Transportation Multi-Modal funding is for construction, reconstruction, improvement, reconditioning and preservation of capital facilities of Municipal owned Airports and Privately-owned public use airports. All Transportation Multi-Modal funded airport projects must also be consistent with a NYSDOT approved Airport Layout Plan.
- Transportation Multi-Modal funding is for rail freight facilities and intercity rail passenger facilities and equipment. Capital project costs for construction, reconstruction, improvement, reconditioning and preservation are eligible for reimbursement.
- Transportation Multi-Modal funding is for construction, reconstruction, improvement, reconditioning and preservation of all State, municipal, or privately-owned ports. For the purposes of this program, a port is defined as " any shoreline-based commercial cargo operation used for import/export navigation by deep water vessels engaged in international trade or interstate commerce, or the shoreline-based facilities which support a public transportation service (e.g., public ferry or water taxi service)".
- MM Funding is for construction, reconstruction, improvement, reconditioning and preservation of fixed ferry landing based facilities of municipal and privately-owned ferry lines used for public transportation purposes.
