Transit Operating Flexibility Act on President’s Desk
The Congress has forwarded to the President the Transit Operating Flexibility Act for his signature (or veto). The bill extends the current operating flexibility that small urbanized areas have in the use of federal transit funds for another year. The bill affects those urbanized areas that moved across the 200,000 population threshold between small urbanized and large urbanized areas (UZAs) due to the 2000 Census. The legislation was adopted by a 350-0 vote in the U. S. House and by unanimous consent in the U. S. Senate.
