Title: Note 3 - Program Costs

All open grants are shown. The amounts shown as current-year expenses represent only the grantor's portion of the program costs. Entire program costs, including the PTBA's portion, may be more than shown.
Title: Note 4 - Grant Accruals & Pre-Award Authority

De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: The PBTA does not use the 10 percent de minimis cost rate as covered in 2 CFR 200.414 Indirect (F&A) Costs.
At times the PBTA may be awarded grant funds through either the State of Washington or the Federal Transit Administration that allow for the agency to incur obligations against the grants in advance of the final execution of the grant agreements. This "Pre-Award Authority" is based on specific criteria set by the individual grant programs.
