	The federal government’s involvement in funding mass transportation is concentrated primarily on the capital side: The federal government supports less than 10% of operating expenditures, but almost 40% of capital expenditures. The Federal Transit Administration has six major programs: (1) Urbanized Area Formula; (2) State of Good Repair (SGR); (3) Capital Investment Grants (also known as “New Starts”); (4) Rural Area Formula; (5) Bus and Bus Facilities; and (6) Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities. The Urbanized Area Formula program is the largest and accounts for 39% of authorized funding ($4.9 billion in FY2020). The program targets public transportation projects in Census areas that have populations of 50,000 or more. For urbanized areas under 200,000 the distribution of funds is based on population, population density, and the number of low-income individuals. For larger metro areas (exceeding 200,000 people), the formula also includes bus revenue vehicle miles, bus passenger miles, fixed guideway revenue miles, and fixed guideway route miles. The Rural Area Formula program apportions funds based on rural land area, population, vehicle revenue miles, and the number of low-income individuals. With authorized funding totaling $673 million in FY 2020, the program also supports the Rural Transit Assistance Program, the Public Transportation on Indian Reservations Program, and the Appalachian Development Public Transportation Assistance Program.
