The pilots will also assess initial adaptation strategies and link these strategies to transit agency organizational structures and activities.

Each pilot will submit to FTA a final report on the activities conducted, main findings, and applicability to other transit agencies. FTA contemplates making approximately four cooperative agreement awards, ranging from $50,000 to $175,000 each. Total funding available is $525,000.
