For the purpose of allocating funds, the sidewalk program is divided into two subprograms, the urban sidewalk program and the small city sidewalk program. The distribution formulas are as follows:

(1) Urban sidewalk program - The average of the ratios of region urban area population (RUP) divided by statewide urban population (SUP) plus region functionally classified lane miles within the urban area (RFC) divided by statewide functionally classified lane miles within urban areas (SFC).

The equation is as follows:

(2) Small city sidewalk program - Region small city population divided by statewide small city population.

For either program, the board may adjust regional allocations by plus or minus five percent of the total annual allocation to fully fund the approved list of regional projects. When requested by the board, staff will update the regional allocations to ensure equitable distribution of funds.
