H.B. 1345 VETOES
State House
Annapolis, MD 21401
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed House Bill 1345 - Transportation Funding - Mass Transit - Funding Study.
This bill requires the Maryland Department of Transportation to conduct specified
analyses of the operating and capital funding needs for transit over a specified period
of time; and requires the Department to review the funding structures of specified
transit services across the country and in specified cities outside the United States.
Senate Bill 850, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me,
accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House
Bill 1345.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
House Bill No. 1345
AN ACT concerning
Transportation Funding - Mass Transit - Funding Study
FOR the purpose of altering the distribution of sales and use tax revenue; creating a
Mass Transit Account within the Transportation Trust Fund; providing for the
distribution of certain sales and use tax revenue to the Mass Transit Account
within the Fund; pledging certain taxes collected to pay the principal and
interest on certain bonds; limiting the use of the Mass Transit Account to
funding certain transit expenses; providing that certain revenues distributed to
the Mass Transit Account are in addition to and may not supplant certain other
funds for mass transit; stating the intent of the General Assembly that the
Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Board of Directors adopt
certain financial planning and business practices; requiring the Maryland
Department of Transportation to conduct certain analyses on the operating and
capital funding needs for transit over a certain period of time; requiring the
Department to conduct certain reviews of the funding structures of certain other
transit systems; requiring the Department to identify certain funding strategies;
establishing a certain steering committee; providing for the membership of the
steering committee; requiring the Department to submit a certain report; and
generally relating to the funding of mass transit in the State.
