Transit Funding Flexibility Act

The Transit Funding Flexibility Act would amend federal law to allow recipients of urbanized area formula grant funds to use those funds for operating costs of public transportation equipment and facilities, removing prior population-based restrictions. It would require recipients to annually certify that they will maintain effort in funding such operating costs, with failure to do so resulting in a one-third reduction of their next year’s grant. The bill aims to increase flexibility in how transit funds are used while adding accountability measures to ensure sustained local investment in public transportation operations.
