Grant Program to Fund Transit Connecting Underserved Communities to Green Spaces.
This Act establishes a grant program to fund new transportation links, such as buses and microtransit, connecting low-income and park-deprived communities directly to public lands and recreational areas. Citizens living in critically underserved areas will gain new, often free or discounted, mobility options to access nature and parks. Priority is given to projects using low-emission vehicles and offering discounts for low-income riders.
Key points
Creation of new, affordable transit routes (e.g., buses, microtransit) linking urban and rural underserved areas to national parks and recreational lands.
Projects must ensure accessibility for people with disabilities (ADA compliant) and may offer employment preference to residents of the communities served.
Available grants range from $25,000 to $500,000 per project, covering up to 80% of costs, with an emphasis on low- or zero-emission vehicles.
