Action
Notice of implementation of Section 360 of the Omnibus Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1999.
Summary
Section 360 of the Omnibus Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1999 (Public Law 105-277) provides that FTA may allow certain recipients of Urbanized Area Formula Funds (Section 5307 of Title 49 U.S.C.) in areas with populations 200,000 or over that provide service for elderly persons and persons with disabilities, with 20 or fewer vehicles, to use a portion of their Section 5307 funds for operating assistance. Because of changes made by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), such funds would normally not be available for Federal transit operating assistance.
