Rural and Small Urban Area Public Transportation Assistance 

The Rural and Small Urban Area Public Transportation Assistance program allocates federal funds to local public bodies or Native American tribes. 

The funds support capital and operating expenses for public transportation services that operate or are designed to operate in non-urbanized areas (population between 2,500 and 50,000). The State Management Plan explains how WisDOT administers these federal funds.
