13.6 	metropolitan area transit account following 
13.7 	the appropriations made in this section, and

13.9 	for transit operations, an amount necessary 
13.10 	to provide for such operations, not to 
13.11 	exceed the balance in the metropolitan area 
13.12 	transit account, is appropriated in each 
13.13 	year to the Metropolitan Council. Within

13.23 	base appropriation for fiscal years 2014 and 
13.24 	2015.
13.25 	Notwithstanding Minnesota Statutes, section 
13.26 	473.388, subdivision 4, in each year of the 
13.27 	biennium, the Metropolitan Council shall 
13.28 	provide financial assistance to each transit 
13.29 	provider under Minnesota Statutes, section 
13.30 	473.388, in an amount equal to the amount of
