Plain-English Summary

This bill would require federal transportation agencies to involve local communities more directly in planning public transit projects, ensuring that neighborhoods have a real say in how bus routes, train lines, and other transit systems are designed. The legislation aims to make sure that transit planning considers the needs of residents, workers, and businesses in the areas affected by these projects, rather than decisions being made solely by government officials or planners. Communities across the country—especially those that have been historically left out of these decisions—would have better opportunities to shape transportation improvements in their regions.
