This bill proposes an appropriation of $2,000,000 from the general fund of the state treasury to the Department of Transportation. The funds are designated for grants to nonfixed route public transportation providers, supporting transit programs that do not operate on fixed schedules or routes. The appropriation is intended for the biennium starting July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2027.

The bill aims to enhance public transportation options in North Dakota by providing financial support to services that cater to the diverse needs of the community, particularly those that may not have access to traditional fixed-route transit systems. This initiative reflects a commitment to improving mobility and accessibility for residents across the state.
