The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5100, aims to secure funding for the continuation of the Department of Transportation's microtransit pilot program. Specifically, it calls for the appropriation of sufficient funds for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027, with a designated allocation of three million one hundred thousand dollars specifically for microtransit services in the city of New Haven.
The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to ensure the funding is appropriated for the specified purpose. The overall intent is to support and enhance microtransit services, which are designed to improve transportation options within the community.
