These specialized 5311 programs still require an operating deficit but based upon the following - "Funds available under the CARES Act, CRRSAA, and ARPA are available for all operating activities (net fare revenues) that occur on or after January 20, 2020. 'This definition does not require other sources, such as the Statewide Mass Transportation Operating Assistance program (STOA), to be considered for transit providers to access COVID 5311 2021-2023 As COVID funds must be spent in their entirety before accessing remaining 5311 2021-23 funding, NYSDOT is extending the date for eligible reimbursements of 2021-2023 funds for all expenses occurring on or before December 31, 2025. 5311 FFY2024/2025 New York State 5311 2024/2025 allocations are reflective of the overall federal funding, the percentage dedicated to operating, and each recipient's portion based on their changes in ridership (passengers), amount of service provided (revenue miles), county population, and local share. Allocations are currently estimated as FFY25 federal apportionments to the states have yet to be announced. New York State's portion of the federal 5311 program for FFY24 has been provided by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and NYSDOT is estimating similar amounts for FFY25. Estimated amounts provided are for planning purposes and final allocations will be updated and announced once released by the FTA. NYSDOT has revised the application structure for 5311 funding for 2024 and 2025 which can be found at www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/policy-and-strategy/public-transportation/rural-programs/5311/application- material. The new application has been streamlined in comparison to previous submissions and only requires information needed to determine project eligibility, make awards, and establish contracts. The application will be for operating, capital, and mobility management. 5311 2021-23 funds must be completely spent before accessing new funds from the 5311 2024-25. Surplus Please contact your NYSDOT PTB system specialist to discuss how a surplus will be documented on your next annual financial reporting. This will not negatively impact your access to future funding programs but rather reflect fiscal responsibility of your organization and allow it to respond to continuous changes in local, state, and federal funding of public transit.
