Sec. 3-4. The Department is authorized to receive Section 18 funds and to make grants for operating and capital assistance to participants which are eligible to receive such funds. Such grants shall not exceed funds to be made available to the State from the federal government for such purposes. Of funds appropriated in any fiscal year for participants which are not eligible for assistance under Article II of this Act, the Department shall apportion 75% of such funds among regions established by the Department.
Such distribution shall be calculated on the basis of nonurbanized area population located outside of the boundaries of eligible participants under Article II of this Act, square miles of land, and the percentage of transportation of disadvantaged persons.
Grants of the funds apportioned may be made for operating assistance to participants within any region in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount apportioned to such region. Grants of funds not apportioned may be made for operating or capital assistance for participants in any region.
