(((2)))(b) An amount to be distributed to each lead planning agency on a per capita basis; and
(((3)))(c) An amount to be administered by the department of transportation as a discretionary grant program for special regional planning projects, including grants to allow counties which have significant transportation interests in common with an adjoining region to also participate in that region's planning efforts.
