The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6746, aims to amend the current statutes regarding the Reduced Fare Transit ID program administered by the Commissioner of Transportation. The key change introduced by this bill is the provision that allows disabled veterans to ride state-owned or state-controlled bus public transportation services at no cost.
This modification seeks to enhance accessibility for disabled veterans by eliminating transportation charges, thereby supporting their mobility and independence. The bill reflects a commitment to recognizing the sacrifices made by veterans and ensuring they have equitable access to public transportation services.
