More Buses and Trains: Better Public Transit for Cities.

This act aims to improve public transportation in cities by increasing the frequency and availability of bus and train services. This means residents can expect easier and faster commutes to work, school, or other destinations, potentially reducing traffic congestion and car ownership costs.
Key points
Larger cities (over 200,000 residents) can use up to 10% of federal funds to increase the frequency and availability of public transportation.
Funds can be used for more frequent services, extended operating hours, new routes, or expanding existing ones.
Smaller cities (under 200,000 residents) can continue to use funds for general operating costs of public transportation.
