MI SB0460

Amends Michigan transportation law to require demand-actuated transit services to recognize identification cards issued to persons with disabilities who may reside outside their home service area but have priority to use those services within their service area, effective October 1, 2009.

Requires eligible authorities and governmental agencies operating demand-actuated service to include in their plans a method to serve persons with disabilities holding priority identification cards on the same terms as those residing within the applicable service area.

Maintains existing service standards requiring demand-actuated service for seniors 65+ and persons with disabilities to operate during the same hours as general service, with equal average response times across all service users.

Specifies that local advisory councils overseeing demand-actuated service must have at least 50% membership representing seniors and persons with disabilities, with the area agency on aging approving at least one seat or 12% of membership.

Applies only to motor vehicle transit services; excludes rail, air, water transportation, and vehicles operated by state-licensed common carriers from these requirements.
