Discount Transit Passes Pilot Project Bill is signed by Governer Pawlenty
The Discount Transit Passes Pilot Project Bill, which was included in the Transportation Omnibus Bill, was passed by both the House and the Senate on May 4th and sent to the Governer for his signature. On May 7th, we learned that the Governer had signed the bill, allowing us to move forward with the development of a Pilot Project. The project allows for 20 agencies who serve the homeless to purchase bus cards and tokens at a discounted rate. The Pilot Project will begin September 1, 2009 and end March 15, 2010. Learn more.
