Body

Under the Urbanized Area Formula program of 49 United States Code 5307, funds are made available for capital and operating assistance and transportation-related planning projects. As an urbanized area, the City of Madison receives from the U.S. Congress an apportionment for use by Madison Metro. Metro will use its funds for capital costs for replacement buses, some of which are for BRT and bus facility renovation projects as included in the Transit Division capital budget.

 

Under Sections 5337 and 5339 (formerly known as Section 3 of the Federal Transit Act, as amended), capital funds are available for transit system capital improvements. Metro will use these funds for replacement buses and bus facility renovation projects. The local share is funded in the Metro Capital budget.
