1 Final Report 2016 FY 2014 Data Public Transportation Survey of State Funding

2

3 Characteristics of State Funding for Public Transportation The following report provides a summary of state transit funding for the 50 states and the District of Columbia (DC). Information includes funding sources, amounts, programs, eligible uses and allocation, and per capita state transit funding. The report was prepared by East Mesa Research & Consulting, LLC which is owned by June Jones, a survey statistician (retired) with the U.S. DOT, Bureau of Transportation Statistics. AASHTO would like to thank the state DOT officials who responded to the survey. ii

4 Survey of State Funding for Public Transportation Dear Reader, April 2016 The AASHTO Standing Committee on Public Transportation is pleased to release the 34th compilation of the Survey of State Funding for Public Transportation. The survey results reflect FY 2014 data. This annual report provides a snapshot of state-by-state investment in public transportation. A comparison of state and Federal funding for public transportation, an overview of state transit programs, revenue sources, and eligible uses for state transit funding as well as the numerous tables and charts enable the reader to understand how different funding and tax mechanisms are used in each state to support transit operations and capital projects. AASHTO supports continued investment in public transportation with a goal of doubling transit ridership to 20 billion trips by Our goals also include: improving public transportation capacity to meet mobility needs; coordinating housing, land use, and transportation policy to support transit-friendly development; and using public transportation as a tool to accommodate increasing travel demand. Public transportation is essential to moving people in both urban and rural areas and is a critical part of the nation s multimodal transportation system. Public transportation also provides basic mobility options for elderly individuals, individuals with disabilities, and lowincome individuals. Public transportation continues to play a significant role in state and national efforts to mitigate traffic congestion, conserve fuel, enhance the efficiency of highway transportation, address air quality issues, and support security and emergency preparedness activities. As our nation s population is expected to top 400 million by 2050 and the population of seniors is expected to slightly more than double by this time, our member departments of transportation must continue to provide public transportation as a mobility option. Historical funding patterns demonstrate the important role that state departments of transportation fulfill in public transportation finance and administration and the results you see in the Survey of State Funding for Publi- Transportation reflects this ongoing commitment. State DOTs spent approximately $17.2 billion on transit in FY 2014, which is an increase over the past five years when states spent $13.6 billion in FY It s important that these investments continue in order to grow our public transportation system. The Survey of State Funding for Public Transportation is viewed by the public transportation industry, national associations, Federal, and state governments as one of the most comprehensive resources on state involvement in public transportation. On behalf of the Standing Committee on Public Transportation, we would like to thank the AASHTO member departments for completing the survey. We hope you find this report a useful reference as you continue to support public transportation in your state. Sincerely, Charles Zelle Chair, AASHTO Standing Committee on Public Transportation Minnesota Deaparment of Transportation Bud Wright Executive Director AASHTO iii

9 Survey of State Funding for Public Transportation Survey of State Funding for Public Transportation PART Highlights of Transit State Transit Highlights of State Funding FY 2014 Funding FY 2014 This report, the 34th compilation of information on state funding for public transportation, was prepared under the auspices of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). State Funding of Public Transit Table 1-1 (on the next page) shows that state funding for public transit for the last five years has steadily increased from $13.6 billion in FY 2010 to $17.2 billion in FY Twenty states increased their public transit funding by a total of $3.0 billion over FY 2013 levels (see Table 1-2) including Illinois up $2.2 billion (included capital funding for the whole state this year, not just downstate funding), New York up $320 million, Massachusetts up $158 million, and Minnesota up $110 million. Seven DOTs account for 99 percent of all funding increases: Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, District of Columbia, and Florida. Nineteen states showed a decline in funding and 12 showed no change in funding levels, including five states that do not fund public transit

Figure 1-1 shows the total of state and Federal transit funding for each of the 51 DOTs surveyed. The figure shows that there is a strong relationship between state and Federal funding. Specifically the six states with the largest state funding amounts New York, Illinois, California, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Maryland collectively allotted $13.8 billion in state funding. About $4.8 billion almost half of all Federal funds spent on transit went to these six states. The remaining 45 states allotted a total of $3.4 billion in state funding and shared about $5.7 billion in Federal funds. The difference between the relatively low percentage of Federal funding used by the selected larger states, compared to the larger percentage of Federal funding used by the other smaller states, is largely the result of the Federal formula used to annually apportion available Federal funding. The strong relationship between state and Federal funding is, in large part, a function of state population served and for this reason, the relationship is not always apparent. Population is a 1-3

12 factor in the allocation of Federal funds, so that, even without significant state investment, a state can receive a significant amount of Federal funds. For example, as shown in Table 1-3, Texas -- with a population 27 million -- invested $30.3 million in state funds in FY2014 and received $628 million in Federal funds. In contrast, Tennessee invested more state funds than Texas, $50 million, but with a much smaller population of 6.5 million, received only $85 million in Federal funds. It is also important to note that without comparable information on local transit funding per state, a complete picture is not possible. Figure 1-1.

for Federal funding is from the Federal Transit Administration, US Department of Transportation. State Transit Programs across the United States In FY 2014, 51 DOTs responded to the survey. Information on sources of funding and eligible uses of funds are summarized. Sources of State Funds (Table 1-4) The most frequently mentioned sources for transit funding used by states were general funds (reported by 15 states) and gas taxes (reported by 11 states), followed by bond proceeds (reported by 10 states) registration/license/ title fees (8 states), general sales tax, State Transportation Funds, and Trust Funds (each with 5 states), motor vehicle/rental car sales tax (4 states), interest income and lottery (2 states each). 1-5

14 Twenty-three states reported that they used other sources for funding such as miscellaneous revenues, fees, or taxes, documentary stamps, and other types of assessments. Seven of these 25 states relied solely (100 percent of transit dollars) on these miscellaneous revenue sources. Approximately 50 percent of the states have constitutional restrictions on using selected automobile-related taxes and fees (such as gas taxes, vehicle registration fees, etc.) to fund public transportation. This fact should be taken into account in determining appropriate peers, and in making comparisons of funding sources with other states.* Eligible Uses for State Transit Funding (Table 1-5) Of the 51 DOTs that responded to the survey, five reported not providing state funding for transit in FY Of those programs providing state transit funding, 32 states reported specific funding amounts for capital expenditures accounting for 23.4 percent of all transit funding. Thirty-five states reported specific funding amounts for operating expenditures accounting for 57.8 percent of transit funding; 18 states reported funding amounts that were not restricted in their use (18.4 percent), and six states reported funding for miscellaneous activities accounting for 0.4 percent of transit funding. Some Select Examples of State Transit Funds Usage Delaware: In 2014, the state of Delaware purchased 26 paratransit vehicles for use in the three counties of our service area. Seventeen of the 26 vehicles went to Sussex County and are reaching much needed rural populations in the state. Florida: In 2014, the Florida DOT initiated transit operations on the new SunRail Commuter Rail system in Central Florida, which was planned, designed, and constructed by FDOT. Approximately $90 million in state dollars (25% of total project costs) were used to match the Federal and local commitments, in addition to FDOT purchasing the 61-mile rail corridor upon which the service operates. Michigan: In FY14, the Michigan DOT provided $169 million in state operating assistance to the state s 81 transit agencies. State operating assistance is provided annually as a percentage of total operating expenses. On average, the state funds covered 37% of local transit s operating expenses in FY14, supporting 88 million passenger trips, 6.4 million hours of service, and 87.6 million miles of service. Also in FY14, MDOT committed $25.4 million in state funds to match federal aid awarded to 71 transit agencies. State funds meet the entire match commitment for all federal transit capital funds apportioned or awarded to Michigan, either to MDOT on behalf of its subrecipients or directly to individual transit agencies. * Transportation Governance and Finance: A 50 State Review of State Legislatures and Departments of Transportation, National Conference of Legislators (NCSL), authors Jaime Rall, Alice Wheat, Nicholas Farber and James B. Reed, May 2011, p

15 Survey of State Funding for Public Transportation Based on initial programming, the state match committed in FY14 along with the federal funds will provide for procurement of 205 revenue vehicles, work at 22 transit facilities, and other bus and bus facility related investments. Montana: In 2014, the state of Montana provided matching operating funds for 30 transit systems across the state. This funding was used to help expand services for the elderly and disabled. New Mexico: The state of New Mexico utilizes state funds to contract for operations of its NMDOT Park and Ride intercity bus system. NMDOT Park and Ride connects rural areas with cities throughout New Mexico and Texas, and provides 115 bus departures daily on eight fixed routes and three shuttle routes. It is the state s fifth largest bus transit system. North Carolina: In 2014, the state of NC used its $84.8 million in state funds to support transit operations in all 100 counties. The types of support include matching 5311, 5310, and 5307 capital, administration, and operating projects for urban; small urban and rural programs; providing operating assistance through the rural and urban funding programs. This resulted in the provision of services to 77.8 passengers, and supported 9000 jobs, resulting in $356 million in wages. 1-7

19 Survey of State Funding for Public Transportation Changes in State Transit Funding (Table 1-6) Table 1-6 shows changes in funding levels between FY 2010 and FY 2014 using two measures: (1) percent change in total funding and (2) percent change in per capita funding. The former measure simply computes the difference in raw funding amounts reported over the two years as a percentage. The latter measure is more useful when making historical comparisons across states because it relates population increase to changes in funding levels over time and thereby normalizes the effect of varied population growth rates of individual states. Both measures are roughly similar in raw figures (for instance, a 24 percent increase in reported total funding and a related 21 percent increase in per capita funding), but they are not identical. Percent changes in per capita funding may either lag or exceed percent changes in total funding, thereby creating a different portrait of state funding activity. Changes in overall state funding since FY2010 for participants in the most recent survey have shown a rather wide variance. In FY 2014, 26 states showed increases in both total and per capita funding ranging from a total funding increase of 429 percent for Illinois (corresponding to a 428 percent increase for per capita funding) to an increase of 4.3 percent in total funding and a 4.1 percent increase in per capita funding for Rhode Island. (It should be noted that in FY2014, Illinois reported transit funding for the entire state rather than limiting figures to downstate funding.) Four states showed a slight increase in total funding but a very slight decrease in per capita funding (two percent or less). Five states showed virtually no change in total funding and less than five percent decrease in per capita funding. Eleven states showed decreases in both total funding and per capita funding ranging from a drop of 5.5 percent for both Oklahoma and West Virginia (with corresponding drops of 8.4 percent and 5.3 percent, respectively, in per capita funding) to a 70 percent drop in funding for Oregon (with a corresponding 71 percent drop in per capita funding). 1-11

21 Survey of State Funding for Public Transportation State and Per Capita Funding A snapshot of all DOTs surveyed in the FY 2014 effort, shown in Table 1-7, reveals that total transit funding by state varies widely across the nation, ranging from zero dollars in funding to $4.786 billion. Five states Alabama, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah did not fund transit at the state level. On the other hand, states such as New York, Illinois, California, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, among others, have made large state investments in transit ranging from almost $1 billion to $4.786 billion. Table 1-7 shows state funding ranked by total funding levels. Table 1-8 shows state funding ranked by per capita funding levels. Fourteen states reported per capita funding between $30 and $770, whereas the remaining 33 states reported from $0.019 per capita to about $25 per capita. States that operate transit usually provide significantly higher per-capita funds than those that do not. Figure 1-2 shows that six states that operate transit indicated by the large diamonds provided significantly higher funding than states with similar population levels. The state that provided the highest level of per capita funding is DC but its totals are artificially high because the DC metro system also serves Virginia and Maryland a population much larger than that of the District. For that reason, DC is not included in Figure 1-2. Figure 1-2 Per Capita Funding by Population and Transit Operator Status,

24 Note: For both Tables 1-7 and 1-8 Alabama, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah did not fund transit. The District of Columbia per capita figure is artificially high. Washingotn Metropolitan Area Transit Authority extends well beyond the District s boundaries into Maryland and Virginia, and therefore serves a population much larger than that of the District. Per capita figure is calculated only for District investment per District resident population. Source for both Tables 1-7 and 1-8: The population statistics to derive per capita figures are published by the U.S. Census Bureau, State Population Estimates: July 1, 2014, published in December Transit Systems, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, and Types of Local Funding by State All of the 46 DOTs who provide state funding for public transit provided information on the number of transit systems in their state and the number of MPOs. States with the highest number of transit systems include: Kansas 146 California 139 Georgia 120 New York 114 States were also given a checklist of potential local funding sources and were asked to simply put an X next to any sources used for local funding. Only 38 of the 46 states that provide transit funding responded to this question. The most frequently selected sources were: City/County General Fund allocations 30 states Sales Tax 21 states Property Tax 16 states sources 17 states 1-16

27 Survey of State Funding for Public Transportation Information on Non-Transit Specific State and Federal Programs Transit agencies in some states receive funding from other non-transit specific state or Federal programs such as Medicaid, Aging, or Workforce Development programs. This additional funding may support client-based transportation only but the funding might be a significant source of revenue for local transit services. States were given the opportunity to identify whether or not their state received this type of funding and whether or not the state could provide state-level data on those funds. Only 46 of the 51 DOTs responded to the questions. Thirty-one indicated that their states do receive this type of client-based transportation funding while 11 states did not. Of the 31 states who indicated that they receive client-based transportation funding, 19 states indicated that their state could provide statelevel data on those funds, and 12 states said they could not (most frequently mentioning the amount of time that would be involved). 1-19

28 Survey of State Funding for Public Transportation PART 2 State Transit Programs Methodology This section presents major details of FY 2014 funding programs for each of the 51 DOTs who responded to the survey. Survey packets were sent to all 50 state DOTs and the District of Columbia DOT the week of August 20, Packets included the survey form with data from FY 2013 entered into the appropriate boxes and instructions for completing the new survey format. Through and telephone follow-ups, eventually all 51 DOTs submitted their updated information and data collection was terminated on February 15 th, A report of results was submitted to AASHTO in April, The following basic information was solicited from each state: Number and Types of Transit Systems Number of Metropolitan Planning Organizations Sources of Local Transit Funding Sources of State Transit Funds. What state taxes or revenues are used to support transit? Transit Program Structure and Characteristics. What is the focus of discrete funding programs? Eligible Uses of Funds. For what purposes are funds provided? Note: Most states operate on a fiscal year of July 2013 to June Per capita costs for each state were calculated using the U.S. Census State Population Data (NST-EST ) for July 1, 2014, which was released in December
