SUPPLEMENT TO NATIONAL URBAN MASS TRANSPORTATION STATISTICS, 1981 SECTION 15 REPORT

The Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 amended the Urban Mass Transportation Act in part by adding two new grant programs: Section 9 provides funds for capital, operating, and certain other types of assistance beginning in FY 1983; Section 9A is a one-year program for FY 1983 which may be used for all purposes of Section 9 except operating assistance. Funds for both programs are apportioned to urbanized areas on the basis of statutory formulas incorporating: population and population density as enumerated by the 1980 U.S. Decennial Census; and (only for urbanized areas with populations of 200,000 or more) various transit operating statistics as contained in the Section 15 data base. Because of the time required for reporting, validating, and publishing these data, there is a two-year lag between the Section 15 reporting year and the fiscal year for which funds are being apportioned. This Supplement contains the transit operating statistics used in computing the FY 1983 Section 9A apportionments. These statistics are derived from the 1981 Section 15 Annual Report, and from supplemental 1981 Section 15 reports submitted by certain transit systems. These systems either had not been subject to the Section 15 reporting requirement, or had not originally reported certain eligible data.
