Medium Transit Intensive Cities Authorization Act of 2026
To amend section 5336 of title 49, United States Code, to provide for certain apportionments to medium-sized transit intensive cities, and for other purposes.
This bill proposes to change certain rules about funding for medium-sized cities with heavy public transportation needs. Specifically, it aims to adjust how money is allocated to these cities to better support their transit systems. This would affect medium-sized cities with significant public transit usage, potentially improving services and infrastructure for residents.
The bill was introduced on May 13, 2026, by Representative Salud Carbajal, with support from Representative Blake Moore. It has been referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure for further review and discussion. At this stage, the bill has not advanced beyond the initial introduction and referral steps.
The current status of the bill is that it was introduced and referred to the relevant committee on the same day, May 13, 2026. The committee will now review the bill, potentially holding hearings and making recommendations for changes before it moves forward in the legislative process.
