Public Transit Support for Growing Communities

This act modifies how public transit funds are allocated, allowing larger cities that were previously smaller to continue benefiting from programs designed for smaller communities. This aims to ensure stable funding for transit agencies that effectively serve their residents, even if their population has grown. As a result, residents can expect the maintenance or improvement of public transit service quality.
Key points
Larger cities (up to 999,999 residents) that were previously smaller (under 200,000) can continue to receive funds designated for small transit communities if they meet specific performance criteria.
Transit agencies that lose their "small community" status due to population growth will receive half of their previous funding for an additional three fiscal years, providing a transition period.
The changes aim to support efficient public transit systems in dynamically growing cities, potentially leading to better accessibility and service quality for passengers.
