Transportation: funds; funding for urban and rural bus programs; modify. Amends sec. 10e of 1951 PA 51 (MCL 247.660e).

HB 6269 modifies the Michigan Transportation Code to update how state funds are distributed to support public bus services in both urban and rural areas. The bill establishes specific grant percentages that the state must provide to cover operating expenses for transit agencies, offering higher funding levels to smaller rural systems compared to larger urban ones. A key provision requires that any agency receiving these state funds must offer discounted fares for senior citizens and individuals with disabilities during off-peak hours. Additionally, the legislation sets a timeline to gradually increase the minimum state contribution for urban transit operators from 50% to 60% over the coming years.
