Bill > HF2933

This bill provides a one-time appropriation of $7,500,000 from the general fund to the Minnesota Department of Transportation for fiscal year 2026 to support transit operations in Greater Minnesota. The funding is specifically designated to help transit systems maintain their operating assistance levels by providing replacement funding when local sources contribute less than the maximum percentages allowed under existing state law (Minnesota Statutes, section 174.24, subdivision 3b). The appropriated funds will be available until June 30, 2027, and are intended to ensure that transit systems in areas outside of the Twin Cities metropolitan area can continue to provide essential transportation services. By offering this financial support, the bill aims to help sustain public transportation infrastructure in rural and smaller urban areas of Minnesota that might otherwise struggle with funding constraints.
