The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6829, aims to establish a Rural Transit Expansion Fund to enhance public transportation services in rural areas of the state. This fund will be utilized to finance the expansion of these services, maintain rural roads, and provide subsidies for transportation options that connect rural regions to urban centers.

The bill seeks to amend the general statutes to create this fund, thereby facilitating financial assistance specifically targeted at improving transportation infrastructure and services in less populated areas. The overarching goal is to ensure that residents in rural communities have better access to public transportation, ultimately promoting connectivity and mobility within the state.
