New grants would help students and Head Start families get to school using public transit.
This bill would create new grant programs to help public transportation providers offer better bus and rail services for students. These services would make it easier for people to get to community colleges, career schools, and Head Start programs. The goal is to improve access to education for many Americans.
Today, there are no specific federal grant programs dedicated to helping public transportation providers partner with schools to improve transit access for students and Head Start participants. This bill would create two new grant programs, setting aside a total of $30 million over five government budget years (2027-2031), to fund projects that add routes, stops, or adjust schedules to better connect people to colleges, career schools, and Head Start programs.
