Commuter highway vehicle and vanpool vehicle are vehicles with seating capacity for at least six (6) adults (not including the driver); and at least 80 percent of the mileage use can be reasonably expected to be for the purposes of transporting commuters in connection with travel between their...
The term ‘private provider of public transportation by vanpool’ means a private entity providing vanpool services in the service area of a recipient of assistance under Chapter 53 using a commuter highway vehicle or vanpool vehicle.
Yes. These are local decisions. For national consistency in reporting the SGR performance measures, the performance metric calculations prepared by each transit provider (or Group Plan sponsor) to satisfy the TAM rule do not allow any weighting strategies. However, MPOs and their...
No. The transit providers (or Group Plan sponsors) will share their targets annually with their respective MPO or MPOs. The MPO’s targets are not required to be updated annually, but must be revisited when the MPO updates its MTP and/or TIP.
No. For plans adopted before October 1, 2018, there is no requirement to include TAM performance measures or performance targets as part of your plans and programs. Please note, however, that any amendment of your MTP or TIP after October 1, 2018, will trigger the requirement to...

While setting regional SGR performance targets is a local decision, FTA suggests MPOs identify one region-wide state of good repair performance target for each asset type for all transit providers in that region. This will enable the MPO to assess progress towards region-wide attainment of...
