Funding posture

Large-ceiling program without open NOFOs in index

Public Transportation Emergency Relief carries a mega-scale SAM.gov ceiling ($1.0 million to $100.0 million) while Grants.gov contributes no indexed opportunities under CFDA 20.536. This shape usually marks block/formula assistance or agency-direct awards, not a missing scrape alone.
