Dear Ms. Engman:
The Public Transportation Program managed by the Public Transportation Division (PTN) of Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT) was allocated 20,000,000 Transportation Development
Credits (TDC) for distribution to eligible projects by the Texas Transportation Commission in Minute
Order 116522 for state fiscal year 2024.
PTN has reviewed The City of Beaumont's project to be submitted for the fiscal year (FY) 2024
5339(b) Bus and Bus Facilities Competitive Grant Program funding opportunity for the Beaumont
urbanized area and finds that the project is eligible for TDC. If funds are awarded, PTN will take
necessary actions to award an amount of up to 788,610 TDC for use as match.
PTN has considered the potential of the projects to expand the availability of funding for public
transportation projects and finds that the project meets the established goals set forth in Title 43,
Texas Administrative Code, §5.102 to support public transit and maximize the use of available
federal funds, particularly in situations in which federal funds otherwise would be unused because of
the inability to provide the non-federal share.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Justin Lawson at 512-
884-8051.
Sincerely,
ey:
