Each transit district established under this chapter or any special act may (1) impose service charges and user fees on persons using transit systems operated by such district and (2) apply for funding from the Department of Transportation in accordance with the provisions of this section to finance construction, acquisition, purchase, lease or operation of a mass transit system and related programs authorized under section 7-273b. For each year starting with the fiscal year ending June 30, 1984, the commissioner shall distribute such funds to each transit district in the same manner as the formula specified under the Section 5 or Section 18 operating assistance programs, depending on whether the transit district is in an urbanized or nonurbanized area, of the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964, as may be amended from time to time. In order to qualify for any such funds, a transit district shall derive at least thirty per cent of its operating costs from service charges and user fees or from federal or local subsidies and other sources other than state subsidies for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1984, thirty-five per cent of its costs from such sources for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1985, and forty per cent of its costs from such sources for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1986. Any municipality providing transit service that is not part of a transit district may either establish a transit district under the provisions of this chapter to assume operating control of such service or negotiate an agreement with the Department of Transportation to administer the operation of such service. In the latter case, the department shall provide financial assistance to such municipality according to the formula specified in this section. As a condition of receiving any funds, such municipality shall derive the same percentage of operating costs from service charges, user fees, federal or local subsidies and sources other than state subsidies as that required for transit districts under the provisions of this section. The Commissioner of Transportation shall adopt regulations in accordance with the provisions of chapter 54 to implement the purposes of this section.
