With respect to a recipient serving an urbanized area with a population of 200,000 or less that receives funds under section 5307, if such recipient submits a reported exceeded metric for the performance-based metric described in subparagraph (C)(i)(III), such recipient shall allocate 2.5 percent of such funds for the subsequent 2 fiscal years to projects described in subparagraph (B).
Funds set aside under this paragraph shall be used for projects that are reasonably likely to reduce injuries and fatalities identified in a reported exceeded metric, including state of good repair projects, increased safety inspections, modifications to rolling stock, and de-escalation training.
