Current as of January 01, 2026 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

The Department of Transportation has the power and duty to make grants from the fund to transportation companies, county transportation systems and local transportation organizations to pay estimated transit losses resulting from providing free service or local common carrier mass transportation systems to persons 65 years of age or older when passage is on fixed-route public transportation services during nonpeak riding hours and on holidays and weekends.  Reimbursement shall be as follows:

(1) The losses resulting from granting service on mass transportation systems shall be reimbursable at 100% of the system's average or base fare, whichever is less, multiplied by the number of trips made by senior citizens participating in the free transit program.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the department shall, with the approval of the Governor's Office of the Budget, reimburse transportation companies or local transportation organizations for 100% of the losses resulting from senior citizen transfer trips incurred under the conditions of this subsection.

(3) Money appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Transportation to augment fixed-route public transportation services under this section shall be granted to transportation providers at the discretion of the Department of Transportation.
