The Secretary of Transportation will allocate funding to urbanized areas, states, and Indian Tribes based on their average operating costs. Recipients must maintain effort and report specific data to the Federal Transit Administration. The program aims to enhance mobility, improve environmental sustainability, and support transit ridership, particularly in underserved communities and areas of persistent poverty.
