  2. Outline • NTD data on rural transit • Growth in demand for transit service • 2010 Census and rural/small city transit • MAP-21 changes affecting state programs • NTD rewrite • Accessing NTD data

  3. Section 5335 Requirements Each transit operator that benefits from 5307 or 5311 grants must submit an annual report containing information on capital investment, operations, and service provided with the funds received, including: • Total annual revenue • Sources of revenue • Total annual operating costs • Total annual capital costs • Fleet size and type, and related facilities • Revenue vehicle miles • Ridership “Cutaway” small bus

  13. 2011 Operating Funding Sources

  14. 2011 Capital Funding Sources

  15. 2011 FTA Operating Funding

  16. 2011 FTA Capital Funding

  17. Vehicle Types

  18. Vehicles by Year Built • 1963 oldest vehicle (a ferryboat) • 1967 oldest bus • 1984 oldest automobile • 36% built after 2008 • 89% built after 2001

  26. Fatalities by Mode (Urban)

  27. Rural vs. Urban Cost Effectiveness • Bus Operating $ per Vehicle Revenue Mile • Urban = $18.5B / 1.85B mi = $10.00/mile • Rural = $161M / 56.0M mi = $2.87/mile(using data on197 bus-only rural reporters) • Demand Response $ per ride (UPT) • Urban = $3.17B / 96.9M rides = $32.71/ride • Rural = $545M / 42.9M rides = $12.70/ride(using data on 816 DR-only rural reporters)

  32. Factors Affecting Urban Ridership

  33. Michigan Light-duty VMT Study http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/98982/102950.pdf

  34. 2010 Census Changes • 36 new urbanized areas >50K population • 27 new urbanized areas >200K population • Urban (5307) vs. Rural (5311) formula • Urban $/pop (200K to 1M pop) = $1.27/person • Rural $/pop = $1.91/person • Urban $/revenue mile = $0.26/VRM • Rural $/revenue mile = $0.02/VRM(Rural also gets $ for land area and low income) • From: http://www.fta.dot.gov/grants/15032_15393.html

  35. MAP-21 changes • Tribal grants • Formula grants, w/ small discretionary component • VRM and low-income population • Asset management requirements • Apply to rural as well as urban • Need plans & asset inventories • Safety oversight • Not just for rail systems • BRT & Fixed guideway funds • Rural not eligible (must be >200,000 population)

  36. NTD Rewrite • Same data • Revised interface • Improved validation • Better documentation • New ideas for state oversight • Integrated with State Safety Oversight data collection • Upload data from spreadsheets • Option for subrecipients to report directly?
