From the meeting
DRPT and TSDAC discussed making MERIT Capital funding more predictable and allowing transit agencies to shift funds between capital line items with approval. The examples included vehicle replacement, IT hardware, shop equipment, and facility rehab, plus a $200,000 reprogramming example for an HVAC failure. This is a policy and funding design signal for future capital needs rather than a current award.
