Communities submit a single grant application to apply for all available State/Federal funds. The state decides which funding programs to use, mixing and matching between State and Federal funding as needed to fund as many transit needs as possible. Section 5310 Section 5311 Section 5307 < 200,000 Section 5316 Section 5309 Section 5313 TOTAL 40 grants /year 29 6 29 19 88 • All 6 Section 5307 programs that Alabama administers are also Section 5311 recipients. • JARC program beginning this Fiscal Year. These are also the Section 5311 recipients. • Section 5309 funds are applied on behalf of entities. State is used to pass through the funding. Section 5309 recipients are non-traditional (i.e. senior services). The Transit Section is organized under the Multimodal Transportation Bureau, which is under the direction of the Assistant Bureau Chief. The Assistant reports to the Bureau Chief, which are all under the direction of the Transportation Director (Secretary of Transportation). The transit section staff provide general oversight for the subrecipients in managing the Federal programs. Thus, staff are tasked with both core functions and grant program-related duties.

No formal transit division exists, but the transit program is managed within the Division of Program Development, under Statewide Systems. There are 2 Transportation Planners dedicated to transit. Also one day per week of the State Long Range Transportation Planner’s time is devoted to transit responsibilities; therefore, the number of staff is about 2.2. All grant programs have dedicated staff, but no staff are dedicated to only one grant program. The staff all perform some degree of training, compliance, and administration/planning.

Alaska B-6 Description of state transit programs: • Three JARC grants awarded to the Alaska Mobility Coalition and the Alaska Mental Health Trust, administered by DOT Transit, which are available to all eligible agencies through a competitive process. • Two 5309 earmarks (one each) are awarded to the Alaska Mobility Coalition and the Alaska Mental Health Trust, which are administered by DOT Transit and available to all eligible agencies through a competitive process. • The Alaska Mental Health Trust originated as part of a lawsuit and, now, revenues for state lands are given to the Trust. This Trust is actually incorporated into the Revenue Department; the funds are not part of FTA, although they are given to DOT to pay for human service vehicles for mentally disabled people--- this money constitutes more than 50% of what they have in the pot for human service vehicles; it is earmarked for mentally disabled people. A portion of the money can also go to planning activities.

Arizona B-9 Description of state transit programs: Arizona has four state-related transit programs. The first, Local Transportation Assistance Fund II (LTAF II), provides $8-9M in funds for “transit use only” for public transportation sponsored by a local government entity or special needs transportation for jurisdictions allocated more than $2,500 (basically all Federal recipients). This program is funded through Arizona Lottery proceeds and can be used for capital purchases, to match Federal funds or enhance operations. The second program, Arizona Rides, provides funds and guidance under the Governor’s Executive Order 2005-16 to coordinate the state’s United We Ride grant planning and submittal. The third program is the Surface Transportation Program (STP) Flexible Funding, which is distributed only to the State’s federal transit programs and cities or regions that participate in FTA programs and have operating systems in place to utilize the funding. The Public Transportation Division allocated $900,000 of STP funding for capital funding in the Section 5311 program, $1.5 million for the Section 5310 program, and $4.1 million as pass-through funding to four Section 5307 systems. The last program, Light Rail Transit Funding, administers $200,000 to provide state safety oversight of the light rail system.

The Office Chief of the Federal Transit Grants Office is not allowed to have direct contact with state or federal elected officials. Transit staff organized by: ____ Core Functions _____ Grant Programs __X___ Combination Explain Arrangement: Staff Location: _____ All Central Staff ___X__ District Staff The Division of Mass Transportation is under the Deputy Director of Planning & Modal Programs, who reports to the Chief Deputy Director and Director of the overall agency. Within the Division of Mass Transportation, a recent reorganization has placed all the Federal programs under a section devoted to Federal Transit Grants only. A separate section addresses State programs and funding. The DOT contracts for and funds the California Amtrak Rail and Bus Feeder System, but it does not receive Federal transit funding, and is under a separate division, the Rail Division. The Federal Transit Grants Office is organized into three program-related sections (JARC & New Freedom-S.5316 Rural and Small Transit Operators - S.5311 and S.5311(f), and Specialized Federal Transit-S.5310) and three functions (FTA DBE/Title VI Liaison, Homeland Security, Interagency Coordination and Liaison). In addition, staff with responsibilities that are primarily functional are located within the program-related sections (a grants management specialist who covers all programs is under the JARC/New Freedom Section, procurement/vehicles specialists are located in Rural and Small Urban and Specialized Federal Transit Sections), the FTA DBE/Title VI Liaison also covers other FTA compliance issues such as Drug and Alcohol/Drug-Free workplace, the Interagency Coordination and Liaison also covers other SAFETEA-LU issues, and the contract for the RTAP program and other training is monitored by a staff position under the Rural & Small Urban Section. B-12

California Role of district staff and chain of command: Significant role for District/decentralized staff. PART II: SCALE OF PUBLIC TRANSIT PROGRAM Number of grant recipients by Federal program: The state solicits for projects every year. Eligible entities submit grant applications to apply for federal funding under particular programs. Most use state Transportation Development Act (TDA) sales tax receipts as part of the proposed local match. Estimating numbers of recipients by program is somewhat misleading because many recipients may have projects under different funding sources, and so are double-counted. Figures below are estimates. Also, S.5307 Small Urban programs will no longer be administered by DMT effective July 1, but will be administered by FTA as they become direct recipients—the figure below reflects this change, though there are previous S.5307 grants that were administered by the state. Section 5310 Section 5311 Section 5307 < 200,000 Section 5316 Section 5309 Section 5313 TOTAL* Approx. 150 annually Approx. 100 Now 0 35 existing, primarily Small Urban Operators No state- wide grant Local grants primarily managed by Division of Transportation Planning 250 grantees *represents 900-1,100 grants (some recipients with multiple grants) Description of state transit programs: California has several state transit funding programs. 1) TDA allows local jurisdiction to use the portion of the sales tax for transportation for transit purposes, unless it can be shown that there is no need. TDA is used as local match by recipients. DMT has a monitoring, legislative and regulatory role, though the actual allocation and distribution of funds is through the State Treasurer’s office. 2) State Transportation Improvement Program funds—state funds for projects in the STIP, 3) new program to provide funding for transportation projects addressing farm worker needs, regulations yet to be developed. Does the state provide the “local match” for federal programs? _X____ Yes _____No Indirectly, by providing TDA to local areas who then use it as match. Does the State administer the Section 5307 Small Urban Program? _____ Yes __X___No They used to, but effective 7/1/06 FTA will provide direct funding to these systems. If yes, how many S. 5307 small urban grantees are there in the state? ____Approx. 35_________ Are all FTA programs administered by the transit section? _____Yes _X___No The major functions are handled centrally, in Sacramento. In 11 of the 12 Caltrans Districts, the transit program pays for staff time to perform transit related functions on both the Federal and state transit grant programs. The District staff perform first level project review, provide technical assistance, and do some compliance monitoring. Transit time is paid by the transit program, but the staff who perform these functions in the District offices report to District Planners. Federal Transit Grants staff in Sacramento act as liaisons to these District transportation planners regarding transit projects that have Federal transit funds as part of the project. B-13

Hawaii STATE: Hawaii PART I: ORGANIZATION Name of DOT and Transit Section: The Department of Transportation is organized largely by three program divisions (Airports, Highways, and Harbors) which do not include transit as a separate entity. Transit-related activities are submerged in the Statewide Transportation Planning Office which is in the administrative arm of the organization. Brief Overview of Organizational Arrangement: That Does the DOT directly operate transit services? _____ Yes ___X___ No Does the transit head have legislative responsibilities? ______ Yes ___X___ No The respondent does coordinate with the State on earmarks, but any policy-type of decisions go through the Director of the Statewide Planning Office.

The Office also provides technical assistance to counties to fulfill their roles of participation in that process. Within the Office, the Programming Staff Division handles the transit work through two engineers on staff. The Division has had a planner vacancy for the past 1.5 years. The two FTEs have broad intermodal planning responsibilities; they wear several hats and neither is fully dedicated to transit. The transit work was supposed to take only 25% of each person’s time, but in reality it takes up about 75%; so roughly, 1.5 FTE workload supports transit grants management. The respondent performs all grant management duties, with the assistance of the other Engineer for S.5311, S.5310, S.5303 (Metro/State Planning), S.5304, S.5309 discretionary funds (the urban system in the City & County of Honolulu get capital grants using those funds), earmarks, and new starts. B-28

Hawaii Description of state transit programs: The State does not provide any operating funds for public transit; they do, however, provide capital assistance for bus purchases on occasion (this has not been used very often though). The counties provide matches or operating assistance; about 75% of the operating budget comes from the counties.

He reports to the Planning Division Chief, who reports to the Assistant Director, who then reports to the Deputy Director, then to the Director. In addition to this unit head, the section has four FTEs in the Transit section, as well as two full-time consultants. Several support divisions, such as accounting and programming, provide assistance to these Transit staff as well as staff in the other Division sections. The Transit section staff are assigned to various “core functions”. In regard to core functions, staff have distinct dedicated responsibilities. For example, one person is tasked with paying invoices, record- keeping, processing of agreements, awarding of Federal funds, and supporting and participating in the Advisory Committee for transit, etc. They tried to organize by grant program in the past, but this did not work well due to imbalances in workload among various programs. For example, the S.5310 program had 60 recipients, while others had many fewer less. B-58

Most of the transit grant administrative functions are performed within the Public Transportation Section, under the Public Transit Administrator. Outside the Bureau of Rail and Transit, the DOT’s finance office handles FTA drawdowns and other federal grant financial matters. The Bureau of Rail and Transit is split into three sections – railroads, bicycle/pedestrian and public transportation. Under the direction of the Public Transportation Administrator, the public transportation section manages the federal grant programs. The section also has a Transit Grants Coordinator, a Transportation Coordinator, and a Rideshare Coordinator. Staff members are not dedicated to a particular federal program but the Transit Grants Coordinator (a newly created position) handles the primary grant management functions with the S.5307/S.5311 grantees/projects.

Ohio Description of state transit programs: The Ohio Coordination Program (about $800,000 per year) provides funding to areas that have no or limited public transit. Funds are used to pay for human service coordination of transportation. The second program is the Elderly and Disabled Transit Fare Assistance Program ($7 M) which is available strictly for transit programs to off-set farebox loss due to the ½ fare requirement.

The Division Director reports to a Deputy Executive Director, who is under the Executive Director, who reports to the Commissioners. Public transit grants administration is shared by the PTN staff at headquarters and the Public Transit Coordinators (PTCs) in TxDOT’s 25 District Offices. The Division both 1) administers Federal and State transit funds, and 2) functions as the statewide broker for the State’s Medicaid transportation program. Functions associated with the Medicaid transportation program (and the 158 FTEs involved in these activities) are not included in this review. Transit is handled by two sections within PTN, namely Program Management and Planning & Support. Each has a Director. Specific staff is assigned to be program managers for specific Federal programs -- S.5310, S.5311, S.5311(f), RTAP, and Rail Safety Oversight. In addition, these staff members and the remainder of the staff are assigned additional functional responsibilities (e.g., compliance monitoring, procurement, MPO TIP/STP). While the whole of PTN is involved in administrating the Federal transit funds to some extent, most grants management functions are performed in the Program Management section and by the PTCs in the District Offices. The PTCs in the District handle day-to-day administration of transit grants at the local level and functions as the transit “point of contact” at the District level. While PTN staff at headquarters provides direction to the PTCs, the PTCs report to the District Engineers. B-81
