FTA recognizes that some transit providers may not have had complete data available to set their initial targets by January 1, 2017, which in some cases may be leading to ongoing delays for the transit providers to share with the MPO. In these cases,...

The transit provider (or Group Plan sponsor) must provide itsTAM targets to each MPO in the metropolitan area in which the transit provider’s projects and services are programmed in the MPO’s TIP. This is also true for 5311-funded rural transit...
