2008 Senate Bill 1316

Require self-generated transit agency cost-effectiveness goals

Introduced in the Senate

May 15, 2008

Introduced by Sen. Roger Kahn (R-32)

To require local public transit agencies to develop cost and performance goals for themselves based on the amount of fare revenue they receive compared to their total expenses, their expenses per passenger and per hour of running a bus or other vehicle, the number of passengers, etc. The Department of Transportation would be required to review these self-generated goals every five years, and in extreme cases of non-attainment could dock an agency for 10 percent of the money it gets from the state.

Referred to the Committee on Transportation
