The bill mandates the Metropolitan Council to enhance transparency regarding transit operations by requiring the publication of monthly ridership statistics and quarterly crime reports. Specifically, the council must post a monthly report on its website that includes ridership data for each guideway and busway in revenue operation, along with the original ridership projections made during the full funding grant agreement. These reports must be made available within 60 days after the end of each month and remain accessible for a minimum of five years.

Additionally, the council is required to publish a quarterly report detailing crime statistics related to light rail transit vehicles, buses, commuter rail cars, and transit facilities. This report must categorize the data by mode of transit and type of crime, ensuring that the information is also available on the council's website for at least five years. This legislation aims to provide the public with better access to important transit data, thereby promoting accountability and safety within the transit system.
