g. Urbanized Area Formula Funds Used
for Highway Purposes
Funds apportioned to a TMA are
eligible for transfer to FHWA for
highway projects, if the Designated
Recipient has allocated a portion of the
area's Section 5307 funding for such
use. However, before funds can be
transferred, the following conditions
must be met: (1) approval by the MPO
in writing, after appropriate notice and
opportunity for comment and appeal are
provided to affected transit providers;
(2) a determination of the Secretary that
funds are not needed for investments
required by the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA); and (3)
the MPO determines that local transit
needs are being addressed.
The MPO should notify the
appropriate FTA Regional
Administrator of its intent to use FTA
funds for highway purposes, as
prescribed in section V.D below.
Urbanized Area Formula funds that are
designated by the MPO for highway
projects and meet the conditions cited
in the previous paragraph will be
transferred to and administered by
FHWA.
4. Period of Availability
The Urbanized Area Formula Program
funds apportioned in this notice are
available for obligation during the year
of appropriation plus three additional
years. Accordingly, these funds must be
obligated in grants by September 30,
2013. Any apportioned funds that
remain unobligated at the close of
business on September 30, 2013, will
revert to FTA for reapportionment
under the Urbanized Area Formula
Program.5. Other Program or Apportionment
Related Information and Highlights
In each UZA with a population of
200,000 or more, the Governor, in
consultation with responsible local
officials and publicly owned operators
of public transportation, has designated
one or more entities to be the
Designated Recipient for Section 5307
funds apportioned to the UZA. The
same entity(s) may or may not be the
Designated Recipient for the Job Access
and Reverse Commute (JARC) and New
Freedom program funds apportioned to
the UZA. In UZAs under 200,000 in
population, the State is the Designated
Recipient for Section 5307 as well as
JARC and New Freedom programs. The
Designated Recipient for Section 5307
may authorize other entities to apply
directly to FTA for Section 5307 grants
pursuant to a supplemental agreement.
While the requirement that projects
selected for funding be included in a
locally developed coordinated public
transit/human service transportation
plan is not included in Section 5307 as
it is in Sections 5310, 5316 (JARC) and
5317 (New Freedom), FTA expects that
in their role as public transit providers,
recipients of Section 5307 funds will be
participants in the local planning
process for these programs.
