Plain-English Summary

The legislation would strengthen how cities and regions plan and coordinate transportation projects by requiring better communication between local governments, transit agencies, and federal transportation officials. It aims to make the planning process more efficient and ensure that roads, buses, trains, and other transportation systems work together better to serve commuters and businesses. The changes would primarily affect city planners, transportation departments, and communities that rely on public transit.
