HB 5969 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Transportation: other; access to park-and-ride lots for transit agencies to use as intermodal transfer points; provide for. Amends sec. 2, ch. V of 1909 PA 283 (MCL 225.2).

This bill directs the Michigan State Department of Transportation to coordinate with local transit agencies to allow them access to park-and-ride lots as intermodal transfer points. It requires the department to prioritize these transfer points when working with transit agencies, regardless of whether the original lot construction included specific accommodations for them. Additionally, the bill mandates that the state develop a comprehensive ridesharing program and provides for annual funding to support these efforts. The primary change affects how park-and-ride facilities are utilized by public transportation systems to improve connectivity and reduce reliance on single-occupancy vehicles.
