Bill Summary
CONCERNING METHODS TO INCREASE THE USE OF TRANSIT.
AI Summary
This bill aims to increase the use of transit in Colorado. The key provisions are:
1. It creates a Statewide Transit Pass Exploratory Committee to develop a proposal for a statewide transit pass that can be used on transit services across the state, including considerations for pass pricing, sales, services offered, and coordination among transit agencies.
2. It establishes a Zero Fare Transit Grant Program to provide grants to transit agencies to offer either free transit services during ozone season or year-round fare-free transit services for youth riders. The program is funded by transferring money from other transportation funds.
3. It makes changes to transit funding, including increasing the maximum amount of revenue a regional transportation authority can derive from a visitor benefit tax.
The goal of this bill is to reduce reliance on personal vehicles, improve air quality, and increase transit ridership, especially among youth, across Colorado.
