Green Access: New Transport Links for Underserved Communities.
This act aims to establish a grant program to fund new transportation connections. This will make it easier for residents in underserved urban and rural areas, including low-income and minority communities, to access parks, recreational facilities, and other green spaces. This means more opportunities for outdoor activities and an improved quality of life.
Key points
Easier access to parks and green areas for urban and rural residents with limited current access.
Support for transport projects using low- or zero-emission vehicles, contributing to cleaner air.
Free or discounted fares for low-income riders, increasing transport accessibility.
Prioritizing local employment for project implementation.
Ensuring new transportation connections are accessible for people with disabilities.
