  "definition": "1. Undertaking to implement or modify a transit facility or transit-related program; purchase transit vehicles or equipment; or provide financial assistance for transit operations. It does not include actions that are solely within the jurisdiction of local transit agencies, such as changes in routes, schedules, or fares. It may consist of several phases. For analytical purposes, it must be defined inclusively enough to:(1) Connect logical termini and be of sufficient length to address environmental matters on a broad scope;(2) Have independent utility or independent significance, i.e., be a reasonable expenditure even if no additional transportation improvements in the area are made; and(3) Not restrict consideration of alternatives for other reasonably foreseeable transportation improvements.\n\n2. Highway project or transit project.",
