This bill
includes a one-time Other Special Revenue Funds allocation to the Department
of Transportation of $150,000 in fiscal year 2021-22 for a transit propensity
study to assess the demand and desire for transit, including but not limited
to passenger rail, between the communities of Portland and Bangor. |
|
The bill also
requires that 25% of the cost of the study be provided by municipalities for
which new or enhanced transit will be evaluated. If this goal is not met, the
department is not authorized to continue the study and any funds collected
from municipalities will be returned. |
