The goals of the Transportation Development Credit Program
are:
(1) to maximize the use of available federal funds,
particularly in situations in which federal funds otherwise would
be unused because of the inability to provide the non-federal share;
(2) to increase the availability of state and local
funds that otherwise would be used as the non-federal share, so that:
(A) a limited number of priority projects may be funded
without federal funds, in an effort to streamline project delivery;
(B) a limited number of priority projects that are
not eligible for federal funding may be supported from state or local
funds; and
(C) available federal transit funds may be used that
otherwise would be unused because of the inability to provide the
non-federal share or to allow funds that would be used as the non-federal
share to be used for other transit projects;
(3) to support public transit; and
(4) to further any other stated goals of the commission
or the metropolitan planning organization responsible for awarding
credits.
