Title
FFY 2024 5339 Full Apportionment for Durham NC UZA
Madeline Galliano, DCHC MPO
Narrative
The Section 5339 Buses and Bus Facilities Program makes federal resources available to states and designated recipients to replace, rehabilitate, and purchase buses and related equipment, and to construct bus-related facilities. DCHC MPO is the designated recipient for the Durham urbanized area (UZA). Section 5339 formula funds are allocated to the urbanized areas (UZAs) based upon population, vehicle revenue miles, and passenger miles. For FFY 2024, the Durham UZA was awarded a full apportionment of $914,224. As the designated recipient for 5339 funds for the Durham UZA, the DCHC MPO may allocate funding to fixed-route operators. The recommended distribution of this funding was developed in consultation with the four fixed-route transit operators and MPO policy. A 'split letter' to FTA regarding the allocation of these funds among transit operators must be approved by the Board to authorize the transit operators to seek applications for funding. Attached is the split letter to FTA for the Board Chair's signature.
Board Action
