(1) For each calendar year, the department may execute an annual aid grant agreement with each eligible applicant.

(2) State aid grant agreements may be terminated by either the department or the applicant under the following conditions:

(a) By the department, if the department determines that the purpose of the aid program as expressed in s. 85.20, Stats., is not being fulfilled, or if the recipient fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the state aid grant agreement.

(b) By the recipient, if the recipient makes a formal application to the department to do so.

(3) A state aid grant agreement may be terminated as provided in sub. (2) by giving written notice of intent to terminate, sent by certified mail, at least 30 calendar days prior to the proposed termination date.

(4) State aid grant agreements shall require that recipients do the following:

(a) Pay the operating deficit of the mass transit system;

(b) Provide reduced fare programs for seniors and individuals with disabilities during nonpeak hours, except if the mass transit system is a shared-ride taxicab system. Reduced fares may not exceed one-half of the adult cash fare;

(c) Establish and maintain accounting procedures and documents as prescribed or approved by the department;

(d) Assure that the mass transit system will count "revenue passenger trips" in accordance with ch. Trans 3.

(f) Assure that, if other local public bodies contribute assistance to the operation of the mass transit system, the state aids received are allocated among the contributors in accordance with any cost sharing agreement that is filed with the department. If no agreement is filed, the aids shall be distributed among the contributors in proportion to their contributions; and

(g) Assure that, if urban mass transit service is provided under a local public body contract with a private provider, the local public body makes payments to the private provider only on the basis of actual billed expenses.
