With a view to their distribution between the department and the competent authorities for the organisation of urban transport according to the breakdown drawn up under the conditions provided for above, the appropriations entered in the State budget in the general decentralisation grant in respect of school transport are delegated each year to the prefects in proportion to the expenditure borne by the State and in this respect in each department for the 1983-1984 school year.
However, those of these appropriations previously used to finance the initial costs of transport services reserved for pupils are allocated in proportion to the average updated expenditure borne by the State in this respect in each department concerned for the school years 1975-1976 to 1983-1984 inclusive.
