The FTA eligible amount is $750,000 and the local match would be 187,500 for a total of $937500 capital. Therefore since Toll Revenue Credit would make our capital at 100%, should $937,500 be shown as the FTA amount in the Grant? I’m not sure how to reflect the Toll Revenue Credit dollar-wise in the grant. Janet M.
