Transportation for Reentry Act
To amend title 49, United States Code, to provide for free public transportation for individuals who are recently released from incarceration.
This bill proposes to amend existing laws to provide free public transportation for individuals who have recently been released from incarceration. The idea is to support these individuals as they reintegrate into society by ensuring they can travel without financial barriers.
This bill would primarily affect individuals who have recently been released from prison or jail. By providing free public transportation, the bill aims to help these individuals access jobs, education, and other essential services, thereby reducing the risk of reoffending and promoting successful reintegration into the community.
HB9898 was introduced on July 23, 2026, and was referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Currently, it is in the early stages of the legislative process, where it will be reviewed and potentially debated before any further action is taken.
