Mississippi Transit Corporation; establish.

HB 141 proposed establishing the Mississippi Transit Corporation as an independent state agency within the Department of Transportation to provide safe, reliable, and cost-effective bus, rail, and light rail transit services across the state. The bill defined a 17-member board of directors, including state leaders, city mayors (Canton, Clinton, Jackson, Madison, Meridian, Vicksburg), and transit users with specific service experience requirements. It outlined the board’s oversight duties, meeting requirements under the Open Meetings Act, and governance structure but did not include substantive service changes. The bill was referred to the Transportation Committee in January 2025 but died there on February 4, 2025, without advancing further.
