IN RE: (Support) SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (SEMTA)
RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT THE LEGISLATURE AND GOVERNOR SUPPORT
AN INCREASE IN THE MICHIGAN MUNICIPAL CREDIT PROGRAM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the "Municipal Credit Program" was created by the
Michigan Legislature to give cities, townships and villages in Wayne,
Oakland and Macomb Counties the opportunity to provide transportation
service which augments existing SEMTA service; and
WHEREAS, a majority of trips provided under the Municipal Credit
Program are for the direct benefit of the older adult and disabled
population; and
WHEREAS, $2 million is provided annually from SEMTA's general
operating budget and the
population; and
WHEREAS, the Municipal Credits can be used by communities for any
operational transportation project; and
WHEREAS, $2 million is insufficient
transportation needs in many communities which lack adequate public
transportation service; and
WHEREAS, in the 1986 budget of the Michigan Department of
Transportation's Transit Development Account in the Bureau of Urban and
Public Transportation, because of higher than anticipated gas consumption,
money is available for expanding the Municipal Credit Program
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners supports the SEMTA Board of Directors' resolution requesting
that the Michigan Legislature and the Governor support an increase in the
Municipal Credit Program with funding allocated from the Transit Development
Account in the Bureau of Urban and Public Transportation in the Michigan
Department of Transportation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to
all Oakland County state legislators and to the county's legislative agent.
Mr. Chairperson on behalf of the Transportation Committee, I move
the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
