The bill, designated as Substitute Senate Bill No. 390, mandates the Commissioner of Transportation to conduct a study on the expansion of microtransit, defined as a technology-enabled transportation service utilizing multipassenger vehicles for on-demand services with dynamically generated routing. The study is to include an analysis of suitable service areas for microtransit, estimated utilization rates, a timeline for program implementation, and potential costs and funding sources. The findings of this study must be reported to the relevant joint standing committees of the General Assembly by January 1, 2027.

The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026, and does not impose any fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as the Department of Transportation is expected to have the necessary expertise to carry out the study without additional costs. The bill's passage was supported unanimously by the Appropriations Committee.
