1 Transit Investments for Greenhouse Gas and Energy Reduction FTA FY2010 TIGGER Program CATEE Conference August 24, 2010 Don Koski, AICP Community Planner, Region VI Federal Transit Administration Fort Worth, TX 1
2 Transit Investments for Greenhouse Gas & Energy Reduction Not to be confused with DOT's TIGER Program (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) FY09 TIGGER Program Initiated within the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 FY10 TIGGER Program continued through the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act 2010 (Pub. L ), enacted December 16, $75 Million in FY 2010 discretionary grants 2
3 Program Details Grants to transit agencies for Capital Projects that: Reduce energy consumption, of the transit agency, or Reduce greenhouse gas emissions of the transit agency, or Reduce both energy consumption and emissions Given the availability of other FTA discretionary programs in FY 2010, FTA will rate more favorably innovative technologies of national significance, such as electric drive and other advanced technologies. The expected Federal share for TIGGER grants is 90%, although applicants may propose a Federal share less than 90%, or up to 100%. Applicants requesting a lower Federal share may be given a higher rating in the evaluation process, all else being equal. 3
4 TIGGER II Objectives Reduce GHG & Energy Consumption Program Sustainability Focus on Innovation and National Applicability Align & Leverage Existing DOT/FTA Strategic Initiatives Identification of Research Gaps Add to existing body of knowledge 4
5 Energy Consumption Energy purchased directly by a public transportation system. Examples include: diesel fuel, compressed natural gas, and electricity purchased from power plants. The TIGGER Program focuses on the total energy savings of a project expected over its useful life. 5
6 Greenhouse Gases (GHG) Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere expressed in short tons of C02 equivalent. TIGGER Program focuses on direct emissions from public transportation systems (e.g., systems vehicles) Program does not include indirect emissions (e.g., third-party power plants) or displaced emissions (e.g., emissions from manufacturing transit equipment, waste disposal, etc.). TIGGER program focuses on the total greenhouse gas emission reductions of a project expected over its useful life. 6
7 Eligible Projects Capital Expenses as defined in 49 U.S.C 5302(a)(1) and (2) QuickTime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. Projects that will assist in the reduction of current agency energy use or GHG emissions Excludes fleet expansions and fixed guideway extensions 7
8 Examples of Eligible Projects include: Replace or repower existing transit vehicles with more energy efficient technologies On-Board Vehicle Energy Management (energy storage, regenerative braking, fuel cells, turbines, engine auto start/stop, etc) Electrification of Accessories (air conditioning, air compressor, power steering, etc.) Bus & Locomotive Design (lightweight materials, component packaging, maintainability, energy storage, regenerative braking etc.) Rail Transit Energy Management (energy storage, regenerative braking, solar propulsion engine systems, power load-leveling, etc.) Facility Enhancements which Improve Energy Efficiency Solar & Wind Installations Other Innovative Technologies or Operations 8
9 Proposal Requirements (FY 2010 Round) Eligible Recipients Public transportation agencies Applicants Public Transportation Agencies State Departments of Transportation Federally-Recognized Indian Tribes Proposal Amounts Minimum $1M request per project proposal Maximum grant amount of $25M Consolidated proposals accepted only from State DOTs; projects evaluated separately Individual projects may receive less than $1M 9
10 General Program Evaluation Criteria Project Innovation National Applicability Project Readiness Project Management Return on Investment 10
11 Specific Program Evaluation Criteria Energy Consumption Total energy savings resulting from the project (million BTU) Total energy savings of project as a percentage of the total energy usage of the public transit agency (%) Greenhouse Gas Emissions Total greenhouse gas reductions from the project (tons CO2e)* *CO2 equivalent in short tons (2,000 pounds) 11
