The fiscal year 1993 "Statistical Summaries" presents selected analyzed data on the distribution and use of various program funds administered by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The programs discussed are the principal source of Federal financial aid to urban and non-urban areas for mass transportation. The data is compiled from the capital, operating, and planning assistance grants awarded to transit authorities, States and other units of local governments. This data is represented in the various tables, charts, and graphs which are identified in the table of contents. Please note that the figures shown on the charts and graphs are lettered and numbered the same as the related tables. Historical data can be found on Tables 17 through 56. FTA obligated $4.4 billion for various grants in fiscal year 1993, the highest on record in FTA history. This is up $873 million from the previous fiscal year. The steep rise in the obligated finds was driven partly by the increased availability of flexible finds transferred from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for mass transit projects. The total amount transferred in FY 1993 reached $469.2 million which exceeded last year's record level of transfers by $165.4 million.
