Analysis Prepared by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation
Statutory authority: ss. 85.16(1) and 227.11(2)
Statute interpreted: s. 85.20
General Summary of Proposed Rule. Chapter Trans 4 establishes the Department's administrative interpretation of s. 85.20, Stats., and prescribes administrative policies and procedures for implementing the state urban public transit operating assistance program authorized under s. 85.20, Stats. 1999 Wis. Act 9 requires the Department to amend ch. Trans 4 to establish cost efficiency standards for all transit systems participating in the state aid program. In this amendment. The Department is proposing to use the six performance measures recommended by the Transit advisory Council in 1997 as the basis for establishing the cost efficiency standards. The amendment defines the methodology to be used in establishing the standards, lays out a procedure for systems not meeting the standards to achieve compliance, and includes penalties for systems remaining out of compliance for a period of three years.
Fiscal Estimate
The Department estimates that there will be no fiscal impact on the liabilities or revenues of any school district, vocational, technical and adult education district or sewerage district. The Department estimates that there will be no fiscal impact on liabilities of any county, city, village or town, except if the county, city, village or town is operating a transit system that is not in compliance with the cost efficiency standards set forth in this rule. The Department estimates that there will be no fiscal impact on state revenues or liabilities.
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The proposed rule will have no adverse impact on small business.
