Safe Transit for All Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill requires large city bus and train systems to track when passengers are harassed or threatened. Agencies in cities with at least 200,000 people would have to set up ways for riders to report these incidents in person or online.
• Transit agencies would collect details about what happened, where it occurred, and why the person was targeted. This includes tracking if someone was harassed because of their race, religion, age, disability, or sexual orientation.
• The goal is to understand how safety concerns stop people from using public transportation. Agencies would have to reach out to people who do not speak English well to make sure their experiences are also recorded.
• The collected information would be shared on a public website so everyone can see the trends. However, the reports would not include any names or private details about the people who were harassed.
• Agencies would also have to create official plans for how they will respond when someone reports being harassed while riding.
