Summary

Rural Transportation Equity Act of 1989 - Amends the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964 to increase from 2.93 percent to six percent the amount allocated in any fiscal year for public transportation projects in non-urbanized areas. Authorizes appropriations for FY 1990 through 1995 for State Initiative Block Grants based upon a specified formula to determine rural population ratios and entitlement. Redesignates the Urban Mass Transportation Administration of the Department of Transportation as the Public Transportation Administration. Directs the Secretary of Transportation to: (1) encourage the appointment of State ombudsmen to coordinate rural transportation resources and planning in each State; (2) establish a rural mobility working group in the Public Transportation Administration to ensure the coordination of all activities with an impact on rural and specialized transportation (and to serve as a single information clearinghouse on such activities); and (3) report annually to the Congress regarding assistance programs provided to rural and specialized transportation operations.
