The department shall allocate the federal mass transportation funds so received to each participating operator in the same proportion as the operator contributed to the funding exchange program. Funds so received shall be used only for the purposes of the State Transit Assistance Program and are subject to all statutes and rules and regulations applicable to funds allocated pursuant to Sections 99313 and 99314.
The Legislature finds and declares that the exchange of state funds for federal mass transportation funds authorized by this section will result in a net increase in the total amount of funds to be available to the participating operators.
(b) A transportation planning agency or county transportation commission, or the San Diego Metropolitan Transit Development Board may authorize an STA-eligible operator under its jurisdiction to exchange funds allocated to it pursuant to Section 99314 for funds made available pursuant to Section 99231. Any funds allocated pursuant to Section 99314 that are exchanged pursuant to this section shall only be available to other STA-eligible operators and shall be used for STA program purposes authorized by this chapter and are subject to all statutes and rules and regulations applicable to funds allocated pursuant to Section 99314. Exchanges pursuant to this section shall be on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

99314.5. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature that, in allocating the funds available pursuant to Section 99313, the transportation planning agencies and county transportation commissions, and the San Diego Metropolitan Transit Development Board give priority consideration to offsetting reductions in federal operating assistance and the unanticipated increase in the cost of fuel, to enhancing existing public transportation services, and to meeting high-priority regional, countywide, or areawide public transportation needs.
(b) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit, or limit the ability of, a public transit operator to do the following:
(1) Contract with common carriers of persons operating under a franchise or license.
(2) Employ part-time drivers.

99314.7. (a) In allocating funds for operating purposes pursuant to Sections 99313 and 99314, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission shall apply the following eligibility standards to the operators within the region subject to its jurisdiction:
(1) An operator is not eligible for its full allocation under this section unless the operator has been found to have made reasonable effort in implementing productivity improvements pursuant to Section 99244. In determining whether a reasonable effort has been made, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission shall give consideration to whether the operator would qualify for funding under Section 99314.6. The amount of funds allocated shall be reduced in an amount that the Metropolitan Transportation Commission deems proportionate to the failure of the operator to implement the recommended improvements. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission shall adopt rules and regulations, in cooperation with the affected operators, governing the allocation of any funds withheld under this paragraph, subject to paragraphs (2) and (3).
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), an operator shall not receive any funds pursuant to Section 99313 or 99314 unless it has complied with the applicable rules , regulations, and recommendations adopted by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission pursuant to Sections 66516 and 66516.5 of the Government Code.
(3) Funds withheld from allocation to an operator pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be retained by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for reallocation to that operator for two years following the year of ineligibility. With respect to the funds withheld from an operator pursuant to paragraph (1), the Metropolitan Transportation Commission shall reallocate those funds to the operator if the operator complies with that paragraph within two years. Funds not reallocated to the operator, and funds withheld pursuant to paragraph (2), shall be allocated to any eligible operator within the region subject to the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for the purpose of improving coordination among the operators, or to any operator whose increase in total operating cost per revenue vehicle hour is less than the increase in the Consumer Price Index. Funds allocated for these purposes are exempt from subdivision (a).
(b) For purposes of this section, “operating cost,” “revenue vehicle hour,” and “Consumer Price Index” have the same meaning as defined in Section 99314.6.

(b) Each transportation planning agency and county transportation commission, and the San Diego Metropolitan Transit Development Board may apply the individual operator ratios calculated for the third quarter of the 2015–16 fiscal year pursuant to this section to any undistributed funds remaining from the first and second quarters of the 2015–16 fiscal year.
