Table 4: Fiscal Year 2016 5307 Apportionment Formula - Full Year
Distribution of Available Funds
Of the funds made available to the Section 5307 program, a one half percent takedown is apportioned to states for State Safety oversight program, $30 Million is set aside for Section 5307(h) Passenger Ferry Grants and a one and a half percent takedown is authorized for Small Transit Intensive Cities. This amount is apportioned to the Governors based on a separate formula that uses criteria related to specific service performance categories. A 3.07 percent takedown is apportioned to urbanized areas based on current low-income data from Census.
The remaining funds are apportioned to small, medium, and large sized urbanized areas (UZAs). 9.32% is made available for UZAs 50,000-199,999 in population, and 90.68% to UZAs 200,000 or more in population.
