Metropolitan Planning Program.—
Apportionment to states.—
In general.—
The Secretary shall apportion 80 percent of the amounts made available under subsection (g)(1) among the States to carry out sections 5303 and 5306 in the ratio that—

the total population of urbanized areas in all States, as shown by that census.
Minimum apportionment.—
Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), a State may not receive less than 0.5 percent of the amount apportioned under this paragraph.
Allocation to mpo’s.—
Amounts apportioned to a State under paragraph (1) shall be made available, not later than 30 days after the date of apportionment, to metropolitan planning organizations in the State designated under this section under a formula that—
considers population of urbanized areas;
provides an appropriate distribution for urbanized areas to carry out the cooperative processes described in this section;
the State develops in cooperation with the metropolitan planning organizations; and
the Secretary approves.

In general.—
The Secretary shall apportion 20 percent of the amounts made available under subsection (g)(1) among the States to supplement allocations made under paragraph (1) for metropolitan planning organizations.
Formula.—

State Planning and Research Program.—
Apportionment to states.—
In general.—
The Secretary shall apportion the amounts made available under subsection (g)(2) among the States for grants and contracts to carry out this section and sections 5304 and 5306 in the ratio that—

A State, as the State considers appropriate, may authorize part of the amount made available under this subsection to be used to supplement amounts made available under subsection (d).
Government Share of Costs.—
In general.—
Except as provided in paragraph (2), the Government share of the cost of an activity funded using amounts made available under this section may not exceed 80 percent of the cost of the activity unless the Secretary determines that it is in the interests of the Government—
not to require a State or local match; or
to allow a Government share greater than 80 percent.
Certain activities.—

the applicable rural area;
an adjoining urbanized area; or
an adjoining rural area.

A State or metropolitan planning organization that carries out an activity described in subparagraph (A) with an increased Government share described in that subparagraph shall report to the Secretary, in a form as determined by the Secretary, how the increased Government share for transportation planning activities benefits commuting and other essential travel in parts of the applicable urbanized area or rural area described in subparagraph (A) with lower population density or lower average income levels.
