The MDOT uses the terms "
non-urbanized
and
rural
areas" synonymously to mean any area outside an
						urbanized area, as designated by the Bureau of the Census. An urbanized area
						consists of a core area and the surrounding densely populated area with a
						population of 50,000 or more, with boundaries fixed by the Census Bureau or
						extended by state and local officials. Since the goal of Section 5311 is to
						enhance access of people living in non-urbanized areas to activities, Section
						5311 projects may include the transportation of non-urbanized residents to and
						from urbanized areas. If Section 5311 funds are used in a joint
						urbanized/non-urbanized area project, Section 5311 funds should be used
						primarily to assist the non-urbanized portion of the service
						area.

						MDOT supports the activities of and will utilize resources of various internal
						and external entities referenced in Chapter III Part A.-D of the approved State
						Management Plan for Federal Transit Administration Funded Transportation
						Programs . (The State Management plan is available through the Public Transit
