Public Transit Support for College Students
This act aims to make it easier for students to get to college by funding improvements and expansion of public transportation. This can provide easier access to higher education for students, especially those from smaller towns or with lower incomes. Citizens can expect better bus and rail connections around college campuses.
Key points
Colleges and public transit providers can receive grants to improve student transportation access.
Funds can be used for new stops, routes, increased service frequency, and operating costs.
Priority for grants will be given to partnerships involving institutions where over 25% of students receive Federal Pell Grants.
The act authorizes funding from $2 million in 2025 to $10 million annually from 2029-2031.
