Renters, who are more likely to live in cities and depend on public transit for commuting, would be disproportionately affected by the loss of new transit construction. Without federal funding for new rail lines, light rail, and bus rapid transit, renters in growing metro areas could face fewer transit options, longer commutes, and higher transportation costs.
Referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
Introduced in House
The bill was officially filed and given a number. It now enters the legislative queue.
The United States administration has set out proposed reductions to public transport and passenger rail funding in its Fiscal Year 2027 budget request, published on 7 April 2026. Programmes affected include Capital Investment Grants, which would be reduced by 1.6 billion USD.
In the Federal Transit Administration budget, the Capital Investment Grants program will go from $2.45 billion to $1.24 billion, with a cut of more than $800 million in basic funding. The cut is meant to ensure funds are directed to the most meritorious projects and encourage local funding.
