For years UMTA had been relaxed in allowing federal transit funds to be diverted for education purposes. In more recent years, FTA has been more aggressive, in making certain that federal transit funds are only used for transit purposes. That closer attention started either sometime in the 1980s, or at the latest, in the 1990s. A recent case that illustrates the point was decided by the FTA in 2013, Bay Area Transportation Authority (Traverse City, Mich.). The FTA discusses the issue of "school tripper" service, and ultimately decides that BATA was improperly operating school bus service, notwithstanding the buses being nominally open to the public (it did not help BATA that the school called the sheriff when an ordinary adult passenger--the investigator of the complaint--was caught riding the bus that was otherwise filled with school children). Consider both the BATA factors and the fact that the city of New York agreed to allow MTABC to operate the same routes that Green Bus Lines et al. were actually operating at the time (all of which had been approved by the city as being public transportation services), as you examine the Q22 service that operated to and from Breezy Point. |
