Bill > HF3199

This bill appropriates specific funding for two transportation management organizations (TMOs) in Minneapolis and St. Paul to support efforts aimed at reducing vehicle miles traveled in the metropolitan area. Specifically, the bill provides $425,000 annually in fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to the St. Paul Transportation Management Organization for programming, service expansion, public education, and operational activities such as staffing, communications, and outreach. Additionally, the bill allocates $105,000 annually in the same fiscal years to the Downtown Minneapolis Transportation Management Organization for similar programming and service expansion efforts. The bill stipulates that the commissioner of transportation must make full grant payments by July 1 of each year and cannot retain any portion of the appropriations, which are considered one-time funding allocations. The goal of these grants is to support initiatives that help reduce vehicle miles traveled throughout the metropolitan area by providing resources for education, outreach, and operational support.
