Start with the allocation from STARS
The STARS 1026A
The STARS 2011-12 Actual AllocationDoes NOT include
Expected future adjustments forNon-high districtsLow ridership districtsTransportation CoopsESDs
The STARS 1026A
Subtract minimum transition allocation from the STARS allocation to determine The base point underfunding
The STARS 1026A
Base Point UnderfundingHow much more (if any) you would get
IF STARS was fully funded
EXCEPT FORAny future adjustments in STARS
The STARS 1026A
Multiply the base point underfunding by the additional allocation adjustment rate (2.02%)
Total Statewide Base Point Underfunding = $109MAdditional funding available = $2.2MAdjustment rate = 2.2/109 = 2.02%
The STARS 1026A
Add the additional adjustment (if any)to the Transition Minimum Allocation
the result is the2011-12 Transportation Allocation
The STARS 1026A
