Transportation aids
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 of mass transit systems is limited to a specified amount in each calendar year. The fifth class is for certain commuter or light rail systems. There is no specified amount payable to the rail mass transit system class.
This bill changes the total amount of state aid payments to two of the four classes of mass transit systems for which 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 $61,724,900 in calendar year 2012 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 $16,219,200 in calendar year 2012 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 $23,267,200 in calendar year 2012 and 2013 and increases the limit to $23,544,900 in calendar year 2014 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 $5,267,000 in calendar year 2012 and 2013 and reduces the limit to $4,989,300 in calendar year 2014 and thereafter.
