Westsidelife-- this is from a friend who use to work at FTA:
"Sure, for example Roaring Forks Area Rapid Transit got a New Starts grant in addition to it's regular allotment from the Urbanized Area Formula (5307 funds) program. How they use those funds is up to the community so long as they're used as they were intended. it's important to note that FTA gives grants based on the census data as divided among the nation's urbanized areas (UZA). Sometimes funds are transferred from one UZA to another.
Also, FTA gave a Full Funding Grant Agreement plus 5307 funds to Salt Lake which was used for light rail and commuter rail. Salt Lake made heavy investments in their own system which FTA appreciated and therefore was able to work with them to accomplish what the community wanted. "
