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
