Plain-English Summary

This bill would give states and local transit agencies more flexibility in how they spend federal transportation money, allowing them to shift funds between different types of projects like buses, trains, and road repairs based on their community's needs. The change would reduce restrictions that currently require transit agencies to use federal dollars for specific purposes, giving them more control over their own transportation priorities. Commuters and transit riders could see different impacts depending on which projects their local agencies choose to prioritize with the newfound flexibility.
