Time to toss your well-worn copy of FTA's Joint Development Circular (2020 edition)! The Federal Transit Administrationjust published the updated Circular.
The new edition includes revisions required by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and adds “technology to fuel a zero-emission vehicle” as an eligible joint development under FTA programs.
This updated Joint Development Circular 7050.1C provides guidance to FTA grant recipients on how to use FTA funds or FTA-funded real property for joint development – the coordinated development of transit facilities with non-transit commercial and residential projects. This proposed guidance contains a change to fee collection for zero-emission vehicle charging equipment.
