Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to transportation; appropriating money for greater Minnesota transit operating assistance.
AI Summary
This bill appropriates $7.5 million from Minnesota's general fund to the commissioner of transportation specifically for transit operating assistance in Greater Minnesota during fiscal year 2026. The funding is designated to support public transit systems in areas outside of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan region, and it is designed to serve as replacement funding when local sources contribute less than the maximum percentage of operating costs allowed under existing state law (Minnesota Statutes, section 174.24). The appropriation is a one-time allocation that will be available until June 30, 2027, and is intended to help maintain and support transit services in smaller, more rural parts of the state by providing additional financial support when local funding falls short of typical requirements.
