BUDGET IMPACTS The following funding/revenue amounts are budgeted and will be received if the Consolidated Funding Application and required documentation are submitted. The State Operating Allocation and 5310 funding is determined by combining annual fixed route and paratransit service ridership, revenue miles and operating expenses, which is weighted along with locally generated revenue/financial support. The total population of each city or region is portioned as a percentage of Iowa's total population, which is weighted to percentage of formula funding. The Jule's share of funding for FY24 is 2.02%. In Fiscal Year (FY) 24, the IA DOT/ Office of Public Transit (OPT) has projected that The Jule's State Operating Allocation will be $337,216 and the Section 5310 formula allocation will be $79,816 for a projected total of $417,032 in FY 24 allocated funding.
