"Federal formula" means the Urbanized Area Formula Funding program under 49 USC 5307. (b) The Agency shall pass through to the District on an annual basis the amount of federal formula assistance equal to 100% of the Alton/Wood River urbanized area formula allocation as capital assistance, on the basis that the District is the exclusive provider of public transit service in the Alton/Wood River urbanized area with total responsibility for capital and operating expenses to deliver such services. The District shall be responsible for any obligations associated with the receipt of these funds as required by the Federal Transit Administration. (c) The Agency shall pass through to the District 100% of that portion of the federal formula funds allocation generated to the St. Louis urbanized area as a result of the District's filing of National Transit Database statistics for passengers miles and revenue miles for those transportation services operated and reported by the District, including motor bus, demand response, and vanpool services, as defined by the Federal Transit Administration. The Agency shall use the Federal Transit Administration Unit Values of Data, published annually in the Federal Register, to calculate this allocation each year. The District shall be responsible for any obligations associated with the receipt of these funds as required by the Federal Transit Administration. (d) The Agency shall retain the federal formula funds allocated by the Federal Transit Administration to the region on the basis of Madison County, Illinois population and population density within the St. Louis urbanized area. Additionally, the Agency shall retain those federal formula funds allocated on the basis of regular fixed route and seasonal services operated and reported by the Agency in the St. Louis urbanized area.
