NOTICE OF CERTIFICATION THAT INTERCITY BUS SERVICE REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN ADEQUATELY MET Notice is hereby given that the Indiana Department of Transportation. (INDOT), Public Transit Section (PTS) is in the process of filing a Governors Certification with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) which will attest that the Intercity Bus needs of the state of Indiana are being adequately met. The Section 5311 (f) program defines intercity bus service as an intercity route, which is a regularly scheduled fixed route connecting two or more urban areas, not in close proximity. The state of Indiana has undertaken good faith efforts to solicit projects which would provide intercity bus transportation services. The Governor's certification does not entail the cessation of the program. The certification states that all reasonable efforts to allocate funding to viable projects have been exhausted and the absence of additional applications (filed by/before established deadlines) indicates that all demand for such services have been met. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) intends to request permission from FTA to utilize the balance of the Fiscal Year 2008 Intercity funding allocation ($1,699,846) toward implementation of regular Section 5311 transportation projects. The Indiana Department of Transportation will accept comments on this request for 14 days from the date of this notice. Written comments on this notice may be addressed to: James English Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) Public Transit Section (PTS) 100 N. Senate Avenue, IGCN Room N955 Indianapolis, IN 46204-2219 o20
