COVERED, AS FAR AS PRACTICABLE, BY FARES CHARGED FOR THE
SERVICES PERFORMED BY THE TRANSIT FACILITIES OWNED OR
CONTROLLED BY THE ADMINISTRATION; AND
(II) AT LEAST TWO-THIRDS OF THE NET PROJECT
COSTS FOR THESE TRANSIT FACILITIES SHALL BE PAID BY
GRANTS CONTRIBUTED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
(E) UNIFIED AND COORDINATED SYSTEM; UTILIZATION OF
