this change.
Sources of Funds - Funds Expended
and Funds Earned form (F-10) - One change:
- The

Formula Program were captured; other FTA programs were reported
under Other FTA funds.
Service form (S-10) - Two changes,
two clarifications:
- Transit
agencies operating commuter rail service, light rail service
or, heavy rail service, are required to report average weekday
unlinked passenger trips and average weekday passenger car
revenue miles by time periods (Weekday AM Peak, Weekday
Midday, Weekday PM Peak and Weekday Other). This new requirement
applies to directly operated and purchased transportation
services.
- Average
Weekday Peak Periods were clarified by adding "Weekday"
to column headers "AM Peak", "Midday",
"PM Peak", and "Other".
- Clarification
- Counting deadhead miles and hours of bus (MB) revenue
trips must be to and from stops advertised in public schedules.

or end of a route to the garage to the first and last stop
in advertised public schedules.

passenger trips (UPT) and passenger miles (PM) reporting.

must be allocated between the two UZAs.
- Column
a, data from other forms, displays the Urbanized Area Formula
Program and also Capital Program for Fixed Guideway Modernization
directional route miles (DRM) over which statistics can
be reported. Even though the directional route miles (DRM)
on fixed guideway can only be reported once for funding,
you can report the statistics that your agency operated
on the fixed guideway segment when another agency is claiming
that segment in their report.
