Southeast Minnesota transportation management organization appropriation

This bill allocates $900,000 from the state's general fund to support the Southeast Service Cooperative in creating a transportation management organization for ten southeastern Minnesota counties. The funds are designated for planning, implementation, and operational services related to public transit and other transportation methods, with the money available until June 30, 2029. A key provision restricts the use of these funds, prohibiting any spending on administrative costs. This is a one-time appropriation intended to help the region develop a coordinated approach to transportation needs.
