Small City Public Transit: Funding Increase

Small Communities Transit Improvement Act

Law

This bill, introduced by Moran and Gallego, would increase federal funding for public transportation in smaller cities. It targets 'transit intensive' cities with populations between 50,000 and 200,000 that have high bus or train usage relative to their size.
The proposal changes the law to set aside 5% of certain federal transit funds for these communities, up from the current 3%. This 2% increase would provide millions of dollars in extra support for local transit agencies across the country.
The extra money is intended to help these smaller areas keep up with high demand. It can be used to buy new buses, fix old equipment, and make sure people in smaller urban areas have reliable ways to get to work, medical appointments, and school.
