Metropolitan Council publishing of monthly ridership numbers and quarterly crime statistics requirement provision

SF 677 requires the Metropolitan Council to publish monthly ridership data for all transit routes and quarterly crime statistics related to transit vehicles, stations, and facilities on its website. The bill mandates that monthly ridership reports include actual ridership numbers and prior projections, while crime reports must break down incidents by transit mode and crime type. These reports must be posted within 60 days after each month or quarter and remain accessible for at least five years. The bill directly affects the Metropolitan Council, requiring it to make this data publicly available without changing transit operations or funding.
