Freedom to Move Act

The Freedom to Move Act tells the Department of Transportation to give out competitive five-year grants called "Freedom to Move Grants" to states, local governments, transit agencies, and nonprofit organizations in both rural and urban areas. The grants would pay for lost ticket money when public transportation becomes free and help improve public transportation systems. The money must be used to start fare-free transit programs and make public transportation better, especially in underserved communities, including making bus service safer, more frequent, and more reliable, plus improving bus stops and adding pedestrian and bike shelters.
