17-229-700 Me. Code R. § 4
Requests for funds under this Program shall be submitted to the Office of Passenger Transportation prior to and separately from the mailing of the annual certification for the Urban Rural Initiative Program (URIP). To be eligible for funding for the bonus program that begins on July 1 of the new State fiscal year (July 1 to June 30), requests for funds certifying budgeted municipal contributions for the fiscal year coinciding with the State Fiscal Year beginning July 1 (see § 3 'Base Year') must be received by June 1, prior to the beginning of that new State Fiscal Year. Due to the complications of calculating the amounts to be distributed in time for the URIP process, applications received after June 1 will not be considered.
