    • Abstract:
      In FY 1987, thirty states provided a total of approximately $2.5 billion in

      state operating assistance to public transit. The level of state operating

      assistance ranges from $75,000 in the state of Montanna to $941 million in New

      York state. This paper provides a basic summary of information about state

      public transit assistance programs including the level of support, the sources

      of funding, the allocation methods and distribution requirements for state

      assistance.

      The primary resource for the financial data included in this report was the most

      recent (August 1987) American Association of State Highway and Transportation

      Officials (AASHTO) Survey of State Involvement in Public Transportation (draft).

      Additional data was gathered by means of a survey distributed to all states by

      the Wisconsin Department of Transportation in August 1987. The survey was

      intended to identify the various requirements including local match, farebox

      recovery and performance requirements each state places on state transit aid

      recipients. The first section of this paper summarizes the financial data and

      a second section summarizes the distribution requirements.
