A consolidated transportation service agency may file claims under article 4.5 of the Act for its operating costs, to the extent specified in section 6634(a), and for its costs in purchasing vehicles and communications and data processing equipment, to the extent specified in section 6634(f). Claims may also be filed by a consolidated transportation service agency for state transit assistance funds as specified in section 6731.1.
A consolidated transportation service agency may provide transportation services itself or contract with one or more other entities to provide service in accordance with section 6683. In either case, the consolidated transportation service agency alone is the claimant for funds under the Act and bears all the responsibilities of a claimant under the Act. These include, but are not limited to, the filing of claims, the maintaining of complete and accurate records in accordance with the uniform system of accounts and records, complying with fare revenue requirements, and the submittal of fiscal and compliance audit reports. The consolidated transportation service agency shall meet all requirements of the Act and these regulations as a single claimant, even where it is responsible for services provided by more than one contractor. For example, the fare revenue requirements shall apply to all of the agency's transportation services jointly, not separately. The consolidated transportation service agency's responsibilities as a claimant may not be delegated or assigned to its contract services providers.
