Creates a Transportation Equity Committee inside the U.S. Department of Transportation to provide independent advice on fair access to transportation. It must develop a strategic plan with national metrics and assess how well the Department connects people to jobs, schools, health care, and other opportunities.
The Secretary must stand up the Committee within 120 days and assign a full‑time federal employee as the Designated Federal Officer to run meetings, keep records, and post public notices at least 15 days in advance. The Office of the Under Secretary for Policy will support the Committee. Usual federal advisory rules apply, but without the standard automatic sunset so the Committee can operate continuously.
