City of Ramsey special transportation service provided by the Metropolitan Council requirement provision and appropriation

This bill requires the Metropolitan Council to provide special transportation services within the city of Ramsey, ensuring these services are integrated with existing transit options in the area. To fund this new requirement, the legislation appropriates $680,000 for capital costs and $470,000 for operating expenses from the state's general fund for fiscal year 2027. These funds are designated as a one-time allocation specifically to support the implementation of the mandated transportation service. The measure directly affects the Metropolitan Council by adding a new obligation and provides the necessary financial resources to carry it out.
