The Agency will be responsible for ensuring that the <br />CTC meets all the requirements associated with the federal funds. The Agency will be responsible for ensuring <br />that all dollars provided as match were for public transportation eligible trips. The Agency must keep financial <br />records that substantiate the eligibility for the match being provided and make that documentation available to <br />the Department on request. <br />25.
