The FTA will host a
webinar about the 2020 Census release at 1 p.m. ET
Thursday, February 9. Current and future FTA grant recipients are encouraged to attend and learn more about how the 2020 Census might impact them and what resources FTA is making available
to assist recipients.
Last December, the Census Bureau announced final urban area designations based on the 2020 Census. FTA program eligibility and funding distribution is determined in part by service provision and
demographics in both urban and non-urban areas. The 2020 Census delineations will impact FTA formula apportionments beginning in FY 2024. Eligibility and requirements associated with Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs) published in FY 2023 will be determined
using 2010 Census designations.
FTA has posted resources on its
Census landing page, including:
-
