FUNDING AND MONITORING The PTD supports community transportation systems in fulfilling the transportation needs of each community by providing ADMINISTRATIVE, CAPITAL, AND OPERATING funding assistance programs. The division has sought increased state funding in these key areas to assist in meeting the goals and policy objectives of the Community Transportation Program. Community transportation systems will be eligible to receive these funding assistance programs if the policy requirements of the Community Transportation Program are met. Community Transportation Systems in Urbanized Area Counties — For the FY2018 Call for Projects, a funding allocation formula will be used. The funding formula for Fiscal Year 2018 provides 1) a base level of $30,000 for each county in the 5311 - funded transit system's service area, 2) 10% of the formula is for performance and 3) the remaining funds are based on the amount of funds that were generated by each transit system. The remaining funds are distributed based on the FTA Apportionment formula which is how FTA determines the apportionment to each state. If the formula amount apportioned to a transit system was below FY 2017 totals, state or other federal funds were added to equal no more than a 10% reduction. This 10% reduction will continue each year until the funding matches the earned amounts. Ten percent (10 %) of the funding will be based on performance as well. If you were above the apportioned amount, you will receive a slight increase. This funding formula will allow for future incorporation of performance criteria. Funding Requests - All community transportation systems are required to utilize the Uniform Public Transportation Accounting System (UPTAS) for budgeting and reporting. The governing board determines how to allocate the maximum amount of funds for which they are eligible, to meet the transportation needs of the service area for the fiscal year. The administrative funding (with the exception of G481 central services [indirect cost], G452 vehicle insurance, G371 marketing, G372 promotional items, and G395 Training [employee development]), allocated to the system can be budgeted at the discretion of the system, utilizing eligible UPTAS cost categories (Object Codes). Indirect Cost Plans - Under Federal and State funded grant programs, recipients may incur costs of both a direct and indirect nature.
