Title
FFY15 Section 5307/5340 Partial Split Letter (9:10-9:15)
Margaret Scully, LPA Staff
Narrative
Section 5307/5340 funds are allocated to urbanized areas for transit capital and operating assistance and for transportation related planning. The MPO's partial apportionment for each program was released by FTA and the MPO fixed route transit operators (DATA, CHT, TTA, OPT) developed a recommended distribution of this funding. A 'Split Letter' to FTA regarding the allocation of these funds among transit operators will need to be approved. Once the allocations have been approved by the MPO Board, the transit operators will be authorized to seek application or amend current applications for funding via FTA's TEAM system. Attached is the letter of recommendation to FTA for the 5307/5340 partial funding split. Also attached is a memorandum with additional information on the 5307/5340 program.
