Matching Requirement
Yes - Cost sharing or matching is required for awards under this program. In accordance with Section 11101(c)(3) of BIL, the Federal share of the cost of a project carried out with ADCMS Program funds shall be 80 percent of the total project cost. Therefore, 20 percent of the total project cost must come from non-Federal sources. Cost sharing or matching means the portion of project costs not paid by Federal funds.2 Other Federal funds using their appropriate matching share may be leveraged for the project but cannot be considered matching funds under an application for ADCMS Program funds unless supported by statute. The FHWA will not consider costs incurred prior to award or funds expended or encumbered prior to award towards the matching requirement for any project. Matching funds are subject to the same Federal requirements described in Section F.2. as awarded funds. See Section D.2.b.2 for information about documenting cost sharing in the application. For each project that receives a grant under this NOFO, the FHWA expects the project to be completed using at least the level of non-Federal funding that was specified in the application.
