What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Transportation administers a general transportation aids program that makes transportation aid payments to a county based on a share-of-costs formula, and to a municipality based on the greater of a share-of-costs formula or an aid rate per mile. Under the program, no municipality may be paid an amount greater than 85 percent of its three-year average costs.
Under current law, DOT is required to make supplemental aid payments to towns receiving aid on a share-of-costs basis that are limited by the average costs threshold. This bill modifies the supplemental aid payments to instead require DOT to make the payments to towns receiving aid based on mileage that are limited by the average costs threshold.
