Bill > HB06704

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 242 of the state's general statutes to provide a significant public transportation fare reduction for low-income passengers. Specifically, the bill mandates a 50% discount on fares for public transportation services operated by the state. The purpose of this legislation is to alleviate financial burdens on low-income individuals and enhance their ability to access critical services and opportunities, such as employment, education, and healthcare. By reducing commuting expenses through this fare discount, the bill aims to support economically disadvantaged residents by making public transit more affordable and accessible, which can help improve overall mobility and quality of life for those with limited financial resources.
