Maryland HB827 modifies fare and tax policies for transportation services.

Maryland HB827 exempts certain fare increases from public hearings, prohibits vehicle-miles-traveled taxes, and sets farebox recovery requirements for transit services. It mandates that the Maryland Transit Administration recover at least 35% of its operating costs from fares and other revenues. The bill also limits annual increases in motor fuel tax rates to 8% of the previous year's rate and requires the Comptroller to enforce regional fuel use tax agreements.
