Opportunity Information: Apply for FR CCD 24 016
The FY24 CRISI Congressionally Directed - New Rochelle Transit Center Redesign opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR CCD 24 016) is a discretionary federal transportation grant offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). It provides funding to support early-stage project development work for upgrades at the New Rochelle Transit Center. The focus is not on full construction funding, but on the preparatory steps needed to move a set of facility and infrastructure improvements forward in an organized, compliant way.
The grant is intended to pay for Project Development activities, specifically including preliminary engineering and environmental review. In practical terms, that means the funded work would cover tasks like refining project concepts into more detailed designs, developing engineering documentation sufficient to support later phases, and completing the required environmental analysis and documentation so the project can proceed toward implementation. These steps are often necessary before major capital improvements can be permitted, bid, and built, and they help ensure the proposed changes are feasible, costed appropriately, and compliant with applicable environmental requirements.
The improvements being advanced through this development work relate to the transit center facility environment and supporting infrastructure. The description highlights several example elements: new landscaping, stormwater management upgrades, improved signage and wayfinding, and enhanced lighting. Landscaping can involve reworking planted areas and site layout to improve the public realm and passenger experience. Stormwater management improvements typically include changes that reduce flooding risk and manage runoff more effectively through features such as improved drainage, green infrastructure, or related site modifications. Signage and wayfinding upgrades are aimed at making the station area easier to navigate for riders, including clearer directions to platforms, bus bays, station entrances, and nearby destinations. Lighting improvements generally target safety, visibility, and security, particularly in pedestrian paths, waiting areas, and station approaches.
Eligibility is limited to city or township governments, indicating the opportunity is primarily designed for municipal applicants, with the City of New Rochelle fitting the listed applicant type. The award is structured as a grant, and the program anticipates a single award under this opportunity. The award ceiling is $1,070,000, which represents the maximum amount expected to be available for the project under this listing.
Key administrative details include an original closing date of 2026-01-15 and a creation date of 2025-12-19. The opportunity falls under the transportation funding activity category and references CFDA number 20.337, which aligns with Federal Railroad Administration assistance listings. Overall, this funding opportunity supports the planning and review work needed to ready a package of transit center site and facility improvements for later implementation, with an emphasis on passenger-facing elements and core station-area infrastructure like drainage, lighting, and navigation.Apply for FR CCD 24 016
