2. Cost Sharing or Matching <br />Per the FY 2019 Appropriations Act, the Federal share of project costs for which an <br />expenditure is made under the BUILD Transportation grant program may not exceed 80 <br />percent for a project located in an urban area.2 The Secretary may increase the Federal <br />share of costs above 80 percent for a project located in a rural area. Urban area and rural <br />area are defined in Section C.3.ii of this notice. <br />Non -Federal sources include State funds originating from programs funded by State <br />revenue, local funds originating from State or local revenue -funded programs, or private <br />funds. Toll credits under 23 U.S.C. 120(i) are considered a Federal source under the <br />BUILD program and, therefore, cannot be used to satisfy the statutory cost sharing <br />requirement of a BUILD award. Unless otherwise authorized by statute, non -Federal <br />cost -share may not be counted as the non -Federal share for both the BUILD <br />Transportation grant and another Federal grant program. The Department will not <br />consider previously incurred costs or previously expended or encumbered funds towards <br />the matching requirement for any project. Matching funds are subject to the same <br />Federal requirements described in Section F.2. as awarded funds. If repaid from non - <br />Federal sources, Federal credit assistance is considered non -Federal share. <br />3. Other <br />i. Eligible Projects <br />Eligible projects for BUILD Transportation grants are surface transportation capital <br />projects that include, but are not limited to: (1) highway, bridge, or other road projects <br />eligible under title 23, United States Code; (2) public transportation projects eligible <br />2 To meet match requirements, the minimum total project cost for a project located in an urban area must be <br />$6.25 million. <br />PAGE 7 <br />
