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.
