How will the agencies receive feedback on our draft proposals?
Comments will be submitted in writing to the SAA or directly to the transit agency. We will return comments to the source of the submission.
How can SAAs become more aware of the procedures around this grant program?
Please refer to the latest Information Bulletin, number 223. It has been posted on our website, at www.tsa.gov/grants. In addition, the submission of your draft project proposals is informal and may be submitted by either the SAA or the transit agency.

I'm looking for clarification around "security" versus "safety." Specifically pertaining to CCTV cameras on buses without a live feed, are they permitted or rejected?
Cameras that do not have a live feed or GPS tracking or panic buttons are not security oriented. Such improvements have a greater impact on safety, rather than security; therefore, they will not be funded. However, if the camera is capable of coordinating with the local police or dispatch center it will be permitted under the grant guidance.
Where exactly will things be posted on the website? It's difficult to find information, organizationally.
We will send the link around to our email distribution list, but the address is www.tsa.gov/grants.

Are additional layers being placed between TSA and the SAAs, making it difficult to have open dialogue?
We have no desire to do that, and are in fact hoping to maintain direct contact between TSA and the SAA. To facilitate a more open community we are posting information on the TSA website. We value APTA's partnership, as well as G&T's as we move forward with the Tier 1 process. We expect to have plenty of opportunities for outreach in the future and will push these six fundamental security principles out through G&T's contacts.
Regarding the grant award letters, have they been sent out yet? Where have they been sent?
You should receive the letters by the end of this week (Friday, Sept. 29). The letters have been sent to the address that was listed in the respective Grants.gov account.
We are still having difficulty obtaining up-to-date information from TSA and G&T. How can we better get the information to the stakeholders?
The time, date, and telephone number with participant pass code will be posted on the TSA website, along with other important pieces of information regarding the Transportation Grants Program.
