Section 4.06. Distribution of state aids.

 

(1)  The department shall distribute the state appropriations for this program among eligible applicants in accordance with the procedures set forth in s. 85.20 (4m) , Stats., and also in accordance with provisions of the annual state contract executed between the applicant and the department.

(2)  Except as provided in sub. (3) , each eligible applicant shall provide a local contribution, exclusive of user fees, toward operating expenses in an amount equal to at least 20% of all state allocations to that applicant under this chapter. No in-kind services, federal or state categorical financial aids or passenger revenues are allowed as part of the local contribution. No part of the local contribution may be paid by a private transportation provider contracting with the applicant public body. The local contribution shall be determined by audit and calculated by subtracting passenger revenues, federal aids and state aids from eligible operating expenses.

(3)   Subsection (2) does not apply to an eligible applicant that is served exclusively by a shared-ride taxicab system.

(4)  State aids shall be paid to a recipient on a quarterly basis. If the department's audit establishes that the state aid payment to a recipient has exceeded any limitation on the state's share of eligible project costs under s. 85.20 , Stats., then the recipient shall refund to the department an amount sufficient to reduce the state aids to an amount that is in conformity with s. 85.20 , Stats.
