Section 4.07. Application for state aids.

 

(1)  Applications shall be made in a form and manner prescribed by the department. If more than one public body in a given urban area contributes assistance to a mass transit system, one public body should submit a single application on behalf of all participating local governments. The applicant public body, as well as all other participating local governments, shall assure that the required local shares of eligible project costs will be available.

(2)  Applications for aids shall be submitted to the department no later than November 15 of the year immediately preceding the proposed project year. Applicants may request up to a 45-day extension of this due date and the department may grant such requests. No application received after January 1 of the project year shall be funded unless the secretary of transportation determines that a later date is appropriate in order to properly respond to an emergency situation.

(3)  Eligible applicants in "urbanized" areas shall submit a copy of their application to the appropriate metropolitan planning organization.

(4)  For purposes of this chapter a "project year" is defined to be a calendar year. The assisted transit services may be operated for less than a calendar year.

(5)  Costs for services not included in the application for state aids will not be eligible for funding until the following calendar year.

(6)  An eligible applicant intending to submit an application to support a new mass transit system shall notify the department of the applicant's intention no later than April 15 of the even-numbered year to be eligible for funding in the next biennium.
