Cities and towns could get more federal money for transit if they build more housing nearby.
This bill would give cities and towns a better chance to get federal money for transit projects if they have policies that make it easier to build housing, especially affordable homes, near public transportation. This could lead to more housing options for people living near transit lines.
Currently, federal grants for transit projects do not explicitly offer incentives for cities and states that have policies to encourage housing development near transit. If this bill becomes law, cities and states could get a 1-point boost on their transit project applications. This would happen if they show they have policies that make it easier to build housing, especially affordable housing, near public transportation.
