Public Transit Grants to Improve College Access for Students.
This bill establishes a grant program for public transit providers working with specific colleges (like community colleges and minority-serving institutions) to improve transportation links. The goal is to ensure students, particularly those from low-income backgrounds, can reliably and punctually commute to their classes. This initiative aims to increase access to higher education by funding better campus connectivity.
Key points
Funds can be used to add new bus or rail routes, stops, and increase service frequency to better connect campuses with surrounding areas.
Priority is given to institutions where over 25% of students receive Federal Pell Grants, focusing aid on students with high financial need.
The program authorizes $2 million in 2025, scaling up to $10 million annually by 2029, to cover capital and operating costs for these transit improvements.
