FTA today published its updated policy guidance for the Capital Investment Grants (CIG) program.
This guidance, which amends the CIG Policy Guidance last updated in December 2024, incorporates a previously applied methodology that utilizes the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) designation for FTA’s evaluation of the environmental benefits of CIG projects. FTA will no longer consider the social cost of carbon analysis when rating CIG projects. The updated guidance also incorporates other feedback received in response to the August 2025 Proposed Policy Guidance public comment period.
FTA applied the updated guidance to rate projects for the CIG program’s FY2026 annual report, which is available on FTA’s website.
