Transportation aids
1. Mass transit aids amounts
Under current law, DOT provides state aid payments to local public bodies in urban areas served by mass transit systems to assist the local public bodies with the expenses of operating those systems. There are five classes of mass transit systems, and the total amount of state aid payments to four of these classes is limited to a specified amount in each calendar year. The fifth class consists of certain commuter or light rail systems, and no state aid amounts are specified for this class.
This bill increases the total amount of state aid payments to the four classes of mass transit systems for which state aid amounts are specified, as follows:
1. For mass transit systems having annual operating expenses of $80,000,000 or more, the bill maintains the current limit of $64,193,900 in calendar year 2019 and increases the limit to $70,613,300 in calendar year 2020 and thereafter.
2. For mass transit systems having annual operating expenses of over $20,000,000 but less than $80,000,000, the bill maintains the current limit of $16,868,000 in calendar year 2019 and increases the limit to $18,554,800 in calendar year 2020 and thereafter.
3. For mass transit systems serving urban areas having a population of at least 50,000 but having annual operating expenses of no more than $20,000,000, the bill maintains the current limit of $24,486,700 in calendar year 2019 and increases the limit to $26,935,400 in calendar year 2020 and thereafter.
4. For mass transit systems serving urban areas having a population of less than 50,000, the bill maintains the current limit of $5,188,900 in calendar year 2019 and increases the limit to $5,707,800 in calendar year 2020 and thereafter.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
