Substitute Resolution authorizing the City of Milwaukee to file applications with the Federal Transit Administration for Federal transportation assistance administered by the Federal Transit Administration.
Analysis
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) makes financial assistance available for public transit projects and the City of Milwaukee, acting through its Department of Public Works, may make future grant applications for eligible transit projects. As a condition to receiving future federal financial assistance from FTA, the Department of Public Works must achieve certified grantee status by agreeing to comply with various Certifications and Assurances in implementing and managing any project funded by FTA .

This resolution approves the submission of the application for such certified grantee status that the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requires before awarding a federal assistance grant agreement and approves the form of annual certification and assurances and other documents the FTA requires before awarding a federal assistance grant agreement.
