The Federal Transit Administration sent this bulletin at 09/03/2015 08:44 AM EDT

FTA is undertaking an effort to speed up planning, approval and delivery of its capital investments and better support innovative financing methods that support capital investments in transit. The multi-faceted Expedited Public Transportation Improvement Initiative (XPEDITE) will enhance and increase the transit industry’s access to:

  • Improved public transportation technologies;
  • Proven methods to speed up planning, development, approval and delivery of FTA supported capital investments; and
  • Enhanced financing methods and opportunities for public-private partnerships through "value capture" that support improved capital project delivery.

To gather public comment on the initiative, FTA will host an Online Dialogue between Tuesday, September 8, 2015 and Friday, October 16, 2015. We invite you to preview the dialogue, but you will not be able to participate until the session launches at 9 a.m. Tuesday.
