This bill lets the U.S. Department of Transportation give transit agencies more help to protect buses, trains, and stations from climate threats like floods, wildfires, extreme heat, and big storms. Money can go to stand‑alone projects or parts of larger projects. DOT must also post a yearly public report on how the funds were used.
Grants could pay for things like flood barriers and pumps, flood and temperature sensors, backup power, replacing equipment stressed by extreme heat, and plans to find weak spots and prepare for emergencies. Funds are sent out mostly by existing formulas, and the yearly report must highlight projects that benefit neighborhoods with high poverty or unemployment, areas with many SNAP recipients, underserved or medically underserved communities, and other environmental justice areas. The bill also raises the program’s authorized funding levels.
