SB 881 - This legislation allows funding of motor pool operations by the Public Mass Transportation Trust Fund. The Public Mass Transportation Trust Fund is for the primary benefit of a public mass transportation system in Kansas City.

Currently, the law limits the amount of sales tax collected to six and one-half percent of the moneys deposited in the fund to motor pool operations. Motor pool operations is a special transportation service provided by a city to certain residents of a city including transporting elderly persons and persons with disabilities. This act eliminates the six and one-half percent limitation on motor pool operations funding. The Public Mass Transportation Trust Fund is financed by a sales tax imposed on personal property or taxable services.
