Both projects focus on state-level implementation of the Federal Transit Administration\u2019s (FTA) Section 5311(f) funding program. The objectives of the Task 25 research complemented and expanded the work that was under way for Task 20, and thus the research results have been combined into a single report.", url = "https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/14601/analysis-of-state-rural-intercity-bus-strategies-requirements-for-utilization-of-s5311f-funding", year = 2011, publisher = "The National Academies Press", address = "Washington, DC" }
