Designation of Transportation Management Areas
AGENCIES: Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of designation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are announcing that all urbanized areas (UZAs) with populations greater than 200,000 as determined by the 2010 Census are hereby designated as Transportation Management Areas (TMAs). The FTA and FHWA are taking this action in compliance with the agencies' authorizing statutes, 23 U.S.C. 134, and 49 U.S.C. 5303. This action supersedes the agencies' designations of TMAs made in the Federal Register on July 8, 2002, at 67 FR 45173.
DATES: Effective Date: July 18, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For FTA related questions, Charles Goodman, Office of Systems Planning (TPE-10), (202) 366-1944, email: Charles.Goodman@dot.gov, or Dana Nifosi, Office of Chief Counsel (TCC), (202) 366-4011, email: Dana.nifosi@dot.gov, Federal Transit Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE., Washington, DC 20590. Office hours for the FTA are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., et., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
For FHWA related questions, James Cheatham, Office of Planning (HEPP), (202) 366-0106, email: James.Cheatham@dot.gov, or Janet Myers, Office of Chief Counsel (HCC), (202) 366-2019, email: janet.myers@dot.gov, Federal Highway Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE., Washington, DC 20590. Office hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., et., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Titles 23 and 49 of the United States Code (23 U.S.C. 134(k)(1)(A) and 49 U.S.C. 5303(k)(1)(A)) require the Secretary of Transportation to designate urbanized areas over 200,000 population as TMAs. A number of Census Bureau defined urbanized areas across the United States have recently exceeded 200,000 in population as determined by the 2010 Census. Accordingly, this notice hereby designates such areas as TMAs. Designated TMAs are subject to special planning and programming requirements. The FTA and the FHWA have developed a series of ``Questions and Answers'' related to applying 2010 Census data to Urbanized and Urban areas in the joint FTA and FHWA planning processes. More information can be found at http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census_issues/ and http://www.fta.dot.gov/grants/12853_12408.html.
These requirements apply to the metropolitan planning areas that must be determined jointly by the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) and Governor, in accordance with 23 U.S.C. 134(d) and 49 U.S.C. 5303(d). Additional urbanized areas may be designated as TMAs by the Secretary of Transportation upon request of the Governor and the MPO, or affected local officials. Notification of any additional TMAs will be issued through a Secretarial Memorandum to the appropriate State Governors and MPOs, not as a notice published in the Federal Register. The UZAs with populations over 200,000, which are hereby designated as TMAs, are listed below. The Santa Barbara, California urbanized area did not meet the statutory population threshold for TMA designation, but was previously designated as a TMA at the request of the MPO and Governor. The Santa Barbara urbanized area continues to be designated as a TMA as a result of the previous request.
There have been significant changes in the urbanized areas defined by the 2010 Census from those defined by the 2000 Census. These changes include new areas, based primarily on population growth, name changes, and areas with significant boundary changes. For multistate urbanized areas over 200,000 population, the urbanized area is listed under the State with the largest share of the population. However, the TMA designation applies to the entire multistate urbanized area.
The Census Bureau defined the Census 2010 urbanized areas using the criteria published in the Federal Register on August 24, 2011 (76 FR 53030). As a result of using these definitions, there were significant changes in the Census 2010 urbanized areas from those defined based on the 2000 census and criteria. A detailed discussion of the differences in the Census Bureau criteria from 2000 to 2010 can be found at the Census Bureau's Web site. http://www.census.gov/geo/www/ua/2000_2010uadif.pdf.
