I. Overview

FTA is updating its Circular 9030.1D, ‘‘Urbanized Area Formula Program: Program Guidance and Application Instructions,’’ last revised on May 10, 2010, to incorporate changes made to the section 5307 Urbanized Area Formula Program (section 5307 Program) by the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP– 21, Pub. L. 112–141), signed into law on July 6, 2012. The section 5307 Program authorizes Federal financial assistance for public transportation in urbanized areas for capital and planning projects, job access and reverse commute projects, and, in some cases, operating assistance. This notice provides a summary of changes to FTA Circular 9030.1D and addresses comments received in response to the proposed Circular that was published in the Federal Register on April 22, 2013. 78 FR 23818. The final Circular, 9030.1E, ‘‘Urbanized Area Formula Program: Program Guidance and Application Instructions,’’ becomes effective upon publication, and will supersede FTA Circular 9030.1D.

MAP–21 made several significant changes to the laws authorizing the Federal transit programs. Many of the changes have cross-cutting impacts across all of FTA’s programs and further several important goals of the Department of Transportation (DOT). Most notably, MAP–21 grants FTA significant new authority to oversee and regulate the safety of public transportation systems throughout the United States. The Act also puts new emphasis on restoring and replacing the Nation’s aging public transportation infrastructure by establishing a new State of Good Repair Formula Program and new asset management requirements. In addition, it aligns Federal funding with key performance goals and tracks recipients’ progress towards these goals. Finally, MAP–21 improves the efficiency of program administration through program consolidation and streamlining. For example, job access and reverse commute activities, previously included in a separate Federal transit assistance
