  • 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.
