Basic Information Module
Basic Information form (B-10) - Three changes:

1. Buyers of transportation service from private providers will include all the data for these services in their report.
2. For purchased transportation services (PT) between two public NTD reporting agencies, the data must be reported as diectly operated (DO) service regardless of whether the buyer or seller is reporting the data.
3. Organization Type 04, Private transportation provider reporting on behalf of a public agency or authority (not a broker), and Organization Type 05, Private transportation broker reporting on behalf of a public agency or authority, have been removed from this form.

Private carriers operating purchased transportation (PT) services that provide public transportation services under contract to recipients or beneficiaries of Urbanized Area Formula Program (UAF) funds must report data to the public transit agency for inclusion in the public transit agency's NTD Annual report.
2. Contractual agreements between public NTD reporting agencies for purchased transportation (PT) services can either be reported by the seller or buyer of service as directly operated (DO) service. Contractual relationships have been revised to accommodate this change.

Financial Module
Sources of Funds - Funds Expended and Funds Earned form (F-10) - One change:

1. The form now lists the primary Federal funding programs of the Federal Transit Administration. Previously, only the § 5309 Capital Program and the § 5307 Urbanized Area Formula Program were captured; other FTA programs were reported under Other FTA funds.

Service Module
Service form (S-10) - Two changes, two clarifications:

1. 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.
2. Average Weekday Peak Periods were clarified by adding "Weekday" to column headers "AM Peak", "Midday", "PM Peak", and "Other".

1. Clarification - Counting deadhead miles and hours of bus (MB) revenue trips must be to and from stops advertised in public schedules. Deadhead miles and hours pertain to trips from the beginning or end of a route to the garage to the first and last stop in advertised public schedules.

2. 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.
