As the NTD matures, there will be more such problem-solving and industry response, which will in turn provide greater value for the “data dollar.”

Special Note to 5307 Agencies with UZA Populations Under 200,000, Commencing in 2007 Reporting Period

Prior to the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), only urbanized areas with populations of 200,000 or more needed to report data to the NTD. With the passage of SAFETEA-LU, NTD data for urbanized areas with populations below 200,000 have also been used in determining the allocation of Federal transit funding. This affects UZAs to which the Small Transit Intensive Cities (STIC) formula applies: that is, they have a population of less than 200,000 and they must operate at a level of service equal to or above the industry’s average level for all UZAs with a population of at least 200,000 but not more than 999,999, in one or more of six performance categories:

1. Passenger miles traveled per vehicle revenue mile
2. Passenger miles traveled per vehicle revenue hour
3. Vehicle revenue miles per capita
4. Vehicle revenue hours per capita
5. Passenger miles traveled per capita
6. Passengers per capita
