My project is a fire station that is the first project on the site of a mixed use development. A bus transfer center is planned to be built directly across from the fire station. As of right now, the project does not qualify for SSc4.1, but I submitted an alternative compliance because when the transfer center is built there will be four routes next door. The reviewers asked for clarification on funding for the project.

So, my question is if the following explanation from the City is adequate:
"The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has approved Sun Metro to enter into ‘project development’ for the Montana RTS corridor. This means they like our Montana project, have entered us into the VSS funding picture, allowed us to start planning and do environmental work, but can’t commit to funding until money is available, which right now I don’t see happening until FY 2015. We hope to get Dyer funding from FY 2014 funds."

Anyone have previous experience with this? Any suggestions for my approach would be appreciated.
