In 2005, the National Bus Rapid Transit Institute (NBRTI) received a congressional earmark of $7,000,000 as part of the passing of the TEA-LU legislation. This earmark equates to $1,750,000 per annum from FY-06 to FY-09. A “Scope of Work” document was subsequently prepared to identify core NBRTI activities over the duration of the grant, and milestones for FY-06. The aim of this “Strategic Plan” document is to build on the FY-06 “Scope of Work” to provide a strategic long-term framework for the activities of the NBRTI over the duration of the grant.
