Description
Mass transit in the Commonwealth. Makes numerous changes to the administration of and revenues for mass transit in the Commonwealth, specifically as it relates to funding of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) and the disbursement of funds in the Commonwealth Mass Transit Fund. The bill sets a floor on the average price of fuel used to calculate the regional motor sales tax as the price of gas on February 20, 2013, the same floor that is used to calculate the state fuels tax. The bill uses a variety of existing revenue sources to allocate revenues for mass transit and authorizes the issuance of $50 million in bonds only for a required federal match. The provisions of the bill are contingent upon Maryland, the District of Columbia, and the federal government adopting similar actions to raise revenues for WMATA. This bill incorporates HB 1319 and is identical to SB 856. Read the Bill »

This is a transcript of the video clips in which this bill is discussed.
northern virginia region. >> thank you. delegate cole. would the patron yield for a question? >> will the delegate from fairfax yield for another question?Del. Mark Cole (R-Fredericksburg): be delighted. >> Mr. Speaker, you know, I heard rumors earlier that due to several localities that are in prtc and vre that are not serviced by metro, there were concerns that funds were going to be rated from the vre tax, which, again, was affected by the gentleman from suffolk's legislation, establishing a floor. And I just want to condition firm that none of the vre funds are going to be basically redistributed, that nothing is changing as far as the formula for vre and the localities that participate in it.
Del. Tim Hugo (R-Centreville): in response to the gentleman, to the delegate from safford, let me say, vre -- vre's 4.8 million to vre new moneys based on formula. Based on form ma law. Prtc, vre also gets 10.15 based on formula. 7.85 to prtc jurisdiction based on formula. >> follow-up question. >> delegate yield for another question? >> indeed. >> delegate yields.
[Unknown]: I think thank the gentleman for sharing figures and not answering my question. I renew my question, does any of the existing formulas as far as the localities that participate in vre, those funds are distributed by a current formula regardless of the level of money collected, are any of those formulas changing. >> Mr. Speaker, I was attempting to answer the best of my limited abilities, obviously, and the numbers I was given were the additional moneys. What I was attempting to convey, we're not changing the formulas.
Del. Kirk Cox (R-Colonial Heights): thank you. >> shall the conference report be adopted? Clerk will close the roll. >> ayes 93. Noes, 1. >> ayes 93. Noes 1.
