What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, DOT provides state aid payments to local public bodies in

urban areas served by mass transit systems to assist the local public bodies with the

expenses of operating those systems. There are five classes of urban mass transit

systems. Four classes are defined by reference to the annual operating expenses of

the system or the population of the area in which the system operates. The total

amount of state aid payments to these four classes of mass transit systems is limited

to an annual amount specified in the statutes. The fifth class is for certain commuter

or light rail systems. There is no specified amount payable to the rail mass transit

system class. This bill increases funding for state aids to the four classes of mass

transit systems for which a yearly amount of aid is specified.
