  • 8.4 Peer Review of Regional Bus Funding Programs
    8 Funding Programs This chapter discusses the federal and state funding programs available for regional bus services, then provides a review of the use of funding by carriers in other states. 8.1 Federal Intercity Bus Operating Assistance—Section 5311(f) The Bus Regulatory Reform Act enacted in 1982 granted intercity bus operators much greater leeway in eliminating or adding service than they had been given under previous regulatory acts, some dating from the 1930s. By 1991, intercity bus service in in many rural, non-urbanized areas had been reduced significantly. In response, the multi-year federal authorization enacted that year, the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), included a provision in Section 18(i) for financial assistance for maintaining or expanding intercity bus service in non-urbanized areas. Section 18 of ISTEA became Section 5311 in the next authorization, the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), enacted in 1998. The Section 5311 designation has continued through subsequent authorizations, and provides for federal funding for transit services in non-urbanized and rural areas with populations less than 50,000. Funding nationwide is allotted to the states for distribution by state officials to local applicants. The funding allocation by state is based on each state’s non-urbanized population. Section 5311 funds can be used for capital expenditures, as well as operating, planning, or administrative expenses. Eligible recipients of Section 5311 funding include state agencies, local

  • Our Plan to Pay for the Plan
    186 MOVING FORWARD CHAPTER 5 5 OUR PLAN TO PAY FOR THE PLAN 5.1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate how the federal requirements for fiscal constraint are met and how Moving Forward can be implemented. Federal regulations require that the financial plan include the following: z System-level estimates of the costs and revenues reasonably expected to be available to adequately operate and maintain federal-aid highways and public transportation; z Estimates of funds that will be available for the implementation of the Plan; and z Additional financing strategies for the implementation of the Plan. 5.1.1 FINANCIAL PLANNING REQUIREMENTS 187 MOVING FORWARD At the time of this writing, the current federal legislation that authorizes federal aid to highway and transit programs through September 2021 maintains the pre-existing financial planning requirements, which apply to Moving Forward. According to 23 CFR 450.324, Moving Forward is required to contain the following: (11) A financial plan that demonstrates how the adopted transportation plan can be implemented. (i) For purposes of transportation system operations and maintenance, the financial plan shall contain system-level estimates of costs and revenue sources that are reasonably expected to be available to CHAPTER 5 adequately operate and maintain the Federal-aid highways (as defined by 23 U.S.C. 101(a)(5)) and public transportation (as defined by title 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53). (ii) For the purpose of developing the metropolitan transportation plan, the MPO(s), public transportation operator(s), and State shall cooperatively develop estimates of funds that will be available to support metropolitan transportation plan implementation, as required under §450.314(a).

  • Chapter 1 — Background and Planning Context
    Chapter 1 1 BACKGROUND AND PLANNING CONTEXT 1 Background and Planning Context The West of the Hudson Regional Transit Access Study (WHRTAS) has been initiated by MTA Metro- North Railroad (Metro-North) in partnership with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (Port Authority) and in cooperation with New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and New Jersey Transit (NJT) to improve mobility and accessibility in the West of Hudson region. Projected population and employment growth in Orange County, together with growth in ridership on Metro-North’s West of Hudson commuter service and a projected rise in Stewart International Airport (SWF) operations, necessitates the consideration of improved and expanded transit services for travelers in the region. WHRTAS evaluates alternatives for improving transit services between Central Orange County and Manhattan and access to SWF from the surrounding regions, Lower Hudson Valley and New York City. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is the lead federal agency for this study which is being conducted in accordance with FTA’s Alternatives Analysis requirements for New Starts program funds. The study also considered the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. Extensive agency coordination and public outreach was implemented to obtain input and guidance throughout this study. This included the formation of a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), which reviewed study material, advised on technical issues, and coordinated with a broad array of elected officials, agencies, organizations, and the general public through direct communication, workshops, roundtable discussions, and open houses. WHRTAS is being conducted in two phases. Phase I is the initial Alternatives Analysis (AA) phase, which evaluates the benefits, costs, and impacts of broad range of transit alternatives with the potential to meet the project's goals and objectives and concludes with the recommendation of a short list of alternatives.

  • United States New York Commuter Benefits-Faqs
    12/7/2020 commuter-benefits-FAQs Menu Search FAQs NYC’s Commuter Benefits Law took effect on January 1, 2016. Under the law, for-profit and nonprofit employers with 20 or more full-time non-union employees in New York City must offer their full-time employees the opportunity to use pre-tax income to purchase qualified transportation fringe benefits. The law is based on the Internal Revenue Code that authorizes pre-tax commuter programs, which benefit employers and employees. The Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) enforces the law and coordinates the City’s public education and outreach campaign to help employers and employees know their responsibilities and rights when it comes to commuter benefits. THERE’S A BETTER WAY TO WORK with NYC’s Commuter Benefits Law. I. GENERAL QUESTIONS II. EMPLOYERS COVERED/NOT COVERED BY THE LAW III. DETERMINING NUMBER OF FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES IV.

TAX QUESTIONS – EMPLOYERS, EMPLOYEES I. GENERAL QUESTIONS What are the advantages of a commuter benefits program? A commuter benefits program can provide savings for both employers and employees. Employers can save by reducing their payroll taxes. The more employees who sign up for transportation benefits, the more the employer can save. Employers can also attract and retain employees by offering transportation benefits. Employees can lower their monthly expenses by using pre-tax income to pay for their commute. Which employers must offer commuter benefits? Generally, non-government employers with 20 or more full-time non-union employees working in New York City must offer their full-time employees the opportunity to use pre-tax income to pay for their transportation by public or privately owned mass transit or in a commuter highway vehicle.
