The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5060, aims to amend section 7-273l of the general statutes to ensure that the Greater Bridgeport Transit receives funding that is proportional to its ridership and service area. This legislative change is intended to provide a more equitable distribution of funds based on the actual usage and geographic coverage of the transit system.
The bill does not specify any deletions from the current law but focuses on the insertion of language that mandates proportional funding for the Greater Bridgeport Transit. The purpose of this amendment is to enhance the financial support for the transit system in alignment with its operational demands and user base, thereby improving public transportation services in the Greater Bridgeport area.
