Pub. L. 101-164, tit. III, sec. 334

Sec. 334. (a) Intermodal Urban Demonstration Project.— Funds appropriated in this Act for “Intermodal Urban Demonstration Project” shall remain available until expended. (b) UMTA Commuter Rail Service.— Section 337 of Public Law 100–457 is amended to read as follows: “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when a commuter rail service has been suspended for safety reasons, and when a statewide or regional agency or instrumentality commits to restoring such service by the end of 1989, and when the improvements needed to restore such service are funded without Urban Mass Transportation Administration funding, the directional route miles of such service shall be included for the purpose of calculating the fiscal year 1990 section 9 apportionment, as well as the apportionment for subsequent years. If such service is not restored by the end of 1989, the money received as a result of the inclusion of the directional route miles shall be returned to the disbursing agency, the Urban Mass Transportation Administration.”. (c) Statewide Operating Assistance.— Section 9(2)(A).—In any case in which a statewide agency or instrumentality is responsible under State laws for the financing, construction and operation, directly by lease, contract or otherwise, of public transportation services, and when such statewide agency or instrumentality is the designated recipient of UMTA funds, and when the statewide agency or instrumentality provides service among two or more urbanized areas, the statewide agency or instrumentality shall be allowed to apply for operating assistance up to the combined total permissible amount of all urbanized areas in which it provides service, regardless of whether the amount for any particular urbanized area is exceeded. In doing so, UMTA shall not reduce the amount of operating assistance allowed for any other State, or local transit agency or instrumentality within the urbanized areas affected. This provision shall take effect with the fiscal year 1990 section 9 apportionment.
