Profile
Welcome to FTA and Region IV— Southeastern Region. In Region IV, we are proud to provide excellent customer service to Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the United States Virgin Islands.
Our mission is to “improve public transportation for America’s communities” by administering federal funding and providing technical assistance to support a variety of locally planned, constructed, and operated public transportation systems throughout the Southeastern Region.
In FY08, this Region awarded over 500 grants and obligated $1.1 billion dollars. This could not have been accomplished without the incredible partnerships with our key stakeholders.
As we prepare for a year of change and opportunities, our commitment is to continue working closely with our customers; to foster open and transparent communications; and clear guidance to ensure the success of critical projects so desperately needed across the Southeastern Region.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) will be our highest priority and FTA is confident that by being diligent in our planning and execution, together, we can carryout the intent of the law in helping to build a stronger transportation infrastructure.
Region IV’s website will be a dynamic resource for our customers to keep current on real-time questions and answers regarding the ARRA; and additional guidance as it becomes available. Please take advantage of this tool and give us feedback for continuous improvements.
The 2009 Appropriations are fast approaching and will be another priority for the Agency, as well as, working tirelessly to obligate lapsing funds before September 30, 2009. Region IV stands ready, willing, and able to assist our customers.
For the remainder of the fiscal year, the FTA will be preparing for the next Transportation Bill. This is certainly a time of change and opportunity -- let’s commit to a successful Fiscal Year 2009 by doing all that we can to keep our economy moving and the American public mobile.
