25. Option to fund tuition! One option to fund your share of the FTA EMS Institute: “We viewed the entire EMS activity as a planning initiative incorporated into the MPO's Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). We then programmed funding on our annual Section 5307 FTA Urbanized Area Formula Allocation towards a System Management & Operations Planning line item. This funding was used to address the incidental costs associated with overall EMS effort.” FTA EMS Institute, Round 2
