Stronger Communities through Better Transit Act

This bill creates a new grant program run by the Department of Transportation to help pay for public transportation operating costs, especially in underserved communities and areas with long-term poverty. The money can be used for things like expanding bus or train service, improving technology systems, and training workers. Recipients must report information about their programs and survey riders about service improvements. The bill also officially adds fighting climate change by increasing transit ridership as a goal of federal public transportation programs.
