What's New

On April 4, 2024, FTA announced $20.5 billion in federal funding available to support public transportation throughout the country, the latest tranche of support made possible thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The funding to states, urbanized areas and tribal governments is based on statutory formulas set in law and represent a full year of federal support for transit.

The Fiscal Year 2024 Apportionments, Allocations, and Program Information Federal Register Notice provides program updates in Fiscal Year (FY) 2024, announces the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, and full-year apportionments and allocations for grant programs, provides contract authority, and describes plans for several competitive programs.

Two changes in Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 impact apportionment amounts:

• FY24 apportionments reflect the U.S. Census Bureau’s new urbanized area boundaries and population figures released in December 2022.
• FTA used transit agencies’ most recent service numbers (2022) reported to the National Transit Database (NTD) to calculate apportionments.
  • In FY 2022 and FY 2023, due to the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on ridership nationwide, FTA used the service data from each NTD reporter’s annual report that had the highest vehicle revenue miles from either 2019 or the most recent year reported.
• FTA hosted a webinar to provide an overview of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Formula Apportionments and discussed the changes to this year’s apportionments related to the 2020 Census and the National Transit Database (NTD) reporting.

Overview

FTA’s FY24 full-year funding tables detail support for transit throughout the United States. These tables reflect the funding provided in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Pub. L. 118-42, March 9, 2024), which provides a full-year spending authority. 

Funding Summary 

Every state, territory, and urban area continues to benefit from the substantial increase in federal transit funding that began in FY22 due to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The tables provide the funding amounts that each state and urbanized area (UZA) will receive from FTA in formula funding made available under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024. Formula grant programs allocate funding to states, urbanized areas, and transit agencies based on formulas set by Congress, and state governments and urbanized areas decide how much to provide to specific transit agencies and other providers.

• Total funding by UZA (this represents a subset of the state-by-state totals)
