A - SECTION III - EXHIBIT C TRANSIT SYSTEM AND URBANIZED AREA DESCRIPTION The Transit System and Urban Area Descriptive information submitted to UMTA on October'27, 1977, as subsequently updated, accurately describes the transit system and the urbanized area associated with this project and are herein in- corporated by reference and made part of this application. CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT (MOE) PROVISIONS Section 5(f) of the UMTA Act of 1964, as amended, requires that expenditure of Section 5 funds apportioned for fiscal years ending prior to October 1,,1981 be supplementary to and not in substitution for the average amount of State and Local government funds and other transit revenues, such as advertising, concessions, and property leases, excluding reimbursement payments for the transportation of school children, expended on the operation of mass trans- portation in the area during the two fiscal years -preceding the project year of this application. However, if the Level of Effort (LOE) for the project year falls short of the MOE level, there will be no reduction in the Federal Assistance for which the applicant is eligible if: 1. The MOE shortfall is offset'(dollar for dollar) by an increase in operating revenues through changes in the fare structure. 2. The reduction in the transit revenue component of the LOE is pro- portional (same percentage) to a reduction in operating costs achieved with no reduction in service levels. . Any shortfall from the MOE level during fiscal year 1985 not covered under items (1) or (2) above is reflected in this application for the City of Lubbock.by a commensurate (dollar for dollar percentage) reduction in the amount of Section 5 assistance..for which this*project.is eligible.
