Safe Transit for All Act of 2026
To amend title 49, United States Code, to require certain recipients of Federal assistance for public transit systems to establish a program to collect data on passenger harassment on public transit systems, and for other purposes.
The Safe Transit for All Act of 2026 proposes to make public transit safer by requiring certain public transit systems that receive federal assistance to create a program for collecting data on passenger harassment. This means that transit agencies would need to track incidents of harassment to better understand the scope of the issue and improve safety measures.
This bill would affect public transit systems that receive federal funds, including the riders who use these systems. By collecting data on harassment incidents, the bill aims to help transit agencies identify patterns and implement strategies to prevent harassment, thereby creating a safer environment for all passengers.
As of May 7, 2026, the Safe Transit for All Act of 2026 has been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. This is the first step in the legislative process, and the bill is now under review by the committee.
