Applicants must provide matching funds in the form of direct contributions at a certain percentage of total project costs. Direct contributions are cash or assets that directly benefit the project and are fundamental to implementing the project. The State Buses and Bus Facilities Grant program uses a tiered match system to determine the minimum required match an applicant must provide.
Match is determined by the transit agency's most recent operating budget. Previous eligible expenditures directly associated with the proposed project may qualify as match. Applicants may use other grants as match except for competitive state-funded grants administered by WSDOT’s Public Transportation Division.
WSDOT uses a competitive process for awards from the State Buses and Bus Facilities Grant program that includes a panel of subject matter experts to review and evaluate applications.
An independent review panel will evaluate applications based on the following evaluation criteria: * Demonstration of need, including how the project meets agency state-of-good-repair goals, how it meets safety goals, and how it addresses environmental harms and provides environmental benefits for overburdened communities and vulnerable populations.
* Demonstration of benefits, including measurable outcomes that improve the quality or scope of service in the community. * Local/regional prioritization. * Project implementation strategy, including the demonstrated readiness of the project for implementation.
