Senate Bill 858 amends the Transportation Code to make certain information related to trip data, demographic information, and other personal information confidential and excepted from disclosure under state public information law if collected by a metropolitan rapid transit authority, regional transportation authority, municipal transit department, and coordinated county transportation authority. The bill also extends a confidentiality and disclosure exception applicable to personal information collected by those authorities to information collected by a municipal transit department. The bill provides for the disclosure of personal trip data collected by these transportation entities to a governmental agency or institution of higher education for use in research or in producing statistical reports.
