Survey of State Funding for Public Transportation - Revision 14

Abstract

Facts The AASHTO Council on Public Transportation is pleased to release the 38th compilation of the Survey of State Funding for Public Transportation. ● Seventeen (17) states showed a decline in funding for transit while 15 states had no change in funding levels, including four states (Alabama, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah) that do not fund public transit at all. As can be seen, for 37 of the DOTs, Federal funds totaled more than 50 percent of the total transit funding provided, while only 14 DOTs had state funding that exceeded Federal funding. This includes those states that provide no state transit funding (Alabama, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah), and those that provide minimal state transit funding relative to the level of Federal funding received (Idaho, Kentucky, Montana, and Missouri). Twenty-four DOTs reported that they used “other” sources for funding such as miscellaneous revenues, fees, or taxes.
