What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Transportation 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 four classes of urban mass transit systems for which funding is presently provided, referred to as Tier A-1, Tier A-2, Tier B, and Tier C. A Tier A-1 system has annual operating expenses of $80,000,000 or more. A Tier A-2 system has annual operating expenses in excess of $20,000,000 but less than $80,000,000. A Tier B system operates within an urbanized area having a population of at least 50,000 or receives federal mass transit aid but has annual operating expenses of less than $20,000,000. A Tier C system operates within an area having a population of less than 50,000 or receives federal mass transit aid. The total amount of state aid payments for each class of mass transit system is limited to a specified amount in each calendar year.
This bill increases the total amount of state aid payments for each class of mass transit system as follows: 1) by about 2 percent for Tier A-1 and A-2 systems; 2) by about 4 percent for Tier B systems; and 3) by about 6 percent for Tier C systems.
