A Study of the Section 5307 Urbanized Area Formula Program and the Transit Needs of Small Urbanized Areas

Request for comments; notice of meeting.

Section 3033 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century requires the Federal Transit Administration to study whether the formula 49 U.S.C. 5336 for apportioning funds to urbanized areas accurately reflects the transit needs of certain small urbanized areas that have unusually intensive transit service for their size. This document announces the commencement of this study, and solicits comments and suggestions on its design and aims. The results of this study will be sent to Congress along with FTA's suggestions on whether the formula should be changed to reflect the transit need of small urbanized areas.
