Can FY2002 PL funds be set aside for areas expected to be designated as urbanized areas in May 2002?
No, the new urbanized area definitions will be used to allocate FY2003 PL funds. However, a State may provide State Planning and Research (SPR), National Highway System (NHS), Surface Transportation Program (STP) and Minimum Guarantee (MG) funds to support “start up” planning activities in anticipation of MPO designation.
