18.34 Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 174.24, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
19.1 Subdivision 1.
Establishment; purpose. A public transit participation program is
19.2established to carry out the objectives stated in section
174.21 by providing financial
19.3assistance from the state, including the greater Minnesota transit fund
new text begin accountnew text end established
19.4in section
16A.88, to eligible recipients outside of the metropolitan area.
19.5 Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 174.24, subdivision 3b, is amended to read:
19.6 Subd. 3b.
Operating assistance; recipient classifications. (a) The commissioner
19.7shall determine the total operating cost of any public transit system receiving or applying
19.8for assistance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. To be eligible
19.9for financial assistance, an applicant or recipient shall provide to the commissioner
19.10all financial records and other information and shall permit any inspection reasonably
19.11necessary to determine total operating cost and correspondingly the amount of assistance
19.12that may be paid to the applicant or recipient. Where more than one county or municipality
19.13contributes assistance to the operation of a public transit system, the commissioner shall
19.14identify one as lead agency for the purpose of receiving money under this section.
19.15 (b) Prior to distributing operating assistance to eligible recipients for any contract
19.16period, the commissioner shall place all recipients into one of the following classifications:
19.17urbanized area service, small urban area service, rural area service, and elderly and
19.18disabled service. The commissioner shall distribute funds under this section so that the
19.19percentage of total operating cost paid by any recipient from local sources will not exceed
19.20the percentage for that recipient's classification, except as provided in an undue hardship
19.21case. The percentages must be: for urbanized area service and small urban area service, 20
19.22percent; for rural area service, 15 percent; and for elderly and disabled service, 15 percent.
19.23The remainder of the total operating cost will be paid from state funds less any assistance
19.24received by the recipient from any federal source. For purposes of this subdivision,
19.25"local sources" means all local sources of funds and includes all operating revenue, tax
19.26levies, and contributions from public funds, except that the commissioner may exclude
19.27from the total assistance contract revenues derived from operations the cost of which is
19.28excluded from the computation of total operating cost. Total operating costs of the Duluth
19.29Transit Authority or a successor agency does not include costs related to the Superior,
19.30Wisconsin service contract and the Independent School District No. 709 service contract.
19.31For calendar years 2004 and 2005, to enable public transit systems to meet the provisions
19.32of this section, the commissioner may adjust payments of financial assistance to recipients
19.33that were under a contract with the department on January 1, 2003. Payments to such a
19.34recipient in calendar years 2004 and 2005 from the greater Minnesota transit fund may not
20.1be less than the payment to the recipient from that fund in calendar year 2003, except for
20.2reductions made necessary by reductions in base funding for those years.
20.3 (c) If a recipient informs the commissioner in writing after the establishment of these
20.4percentages but prior to the distribution of financial assistance for any year that paying
20.5its designated percentage of total operating cost from local sources will cause undue
20.6hardship, the commissioner may reduce the percentage to be paid from local sources by
20.7the recipient and increase the percentage to be paid from local sources by one or more
20.8other recipients inside or outside the classification. However, the commissioner may not
20.9reduce or increase any recipient's percentage under this paragraph for more than two years
20.10successively. If for any year the funds appropriated to the commissioner to carry out the
20.11purposes of this section are insufficient to allow the commissioner to pay the state share
20.12of total operating cost as provided in this paragraph, the commissioner shall reduce the
20.13state share in each classification to the extent necessary.
20.14 Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 174.24, subdivision 5, is amended to read:
20.15 Subd. 5.
