Accident Report

Did you know that when a federally funded vehicle has been in an accident, regardless of severity, it must be reported to MoDOT? MoDOT has created an Accident Report form transit agencies must/should complete. The form can be found on the MoDOT-Transit website.

Send completed forms for review to:

Christy.Evers@modot.mo.gov

Vehicle Disposition Form

MoDOT has updated the vehicle disposition form. Transit agencies that receive federally funded vehicles through MoDOT must complete this form when requesting vehicles to be sold, buyback, etc. The use of this form is effective immediately and can be found on the MoDOT-Transit website.

Send completed forms for review and processing to:

Lisa.Sloan@modot.mo.gov

Note to Urban Transit Providers: While only ICB and rural transit providers are eligible for FTA 5311(f) funding, your perspective is still critical in evaluating current intercity bus service demand and unmet needs throughout Missouri.

Intercity Bus Service is defined as “Regularly scheduled bus service for the general public that operates with stops in rural areas over fixed routes connecting two or more urbanized areas not in close proximity, has the capacity for transporting baggage carried by passengers, and makes meaningful connections with scheduled intercity bus service to more distant points, if such service is available.”

Note the following:

• Commuter service providing daily work trips within a local commuting area is not Intercity Bus Service.
• Service operated infrequently between limited points in one community and limited points in another community may qualify as Intercity Bus Service.
• Use of coach buses is not required to qualify as Intercity Bus Service, nor is there any other size requirement for vehicles.
• Rural transit agencies are not excluded from providing Intercity Bus Service.

Feeder Service coordinates rural connections between small transit operations and intercity bus carriers. Feeder Service must make “meaningful connections with scheduled intercity bus service to more distance points.” A “meaningful connection” is a connection directly at the boarding location of an intercity bus trip within a close timeframe of the scheduled departure. It can be fixed-route or demand-response service.

FTA announced approximately $2 billion in competitive funding to 165 projects in 45 states and the District of Columbia through the Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities and Low or No Emission programs.

FTA's Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Program supports transit agencies in buying and rehabilitating buses and vans and building bus maintenance facilities. FTA’s Low or No Emission Program helps transit agencies buy or lease U.S.-built low- or no-emission vehicles, including related equipment or facilities.
