Metropolitan Council; forecast adjustments made to special transportation service, and money appropriated.

This bill increases state funding for the Metropolitan Council's special transportation services, which primarily assist people with disabilities and those who cannot drive. The legislation raises the total appropriation from the general fund by approximately $8.9 million, specifically directing an additional $9 million to programs like Metro Mobility and Metro Move. These financial adjustments are intended to update the budget forecast for these services in the upcoming fiscal year. The bill does not change service eligibility or operational rules, but rather provides more money to support existing transportation initiatives.
