Moving Transit Forward Act of 2025
Sponsored By: Senator Chris Van Hollen
Introduced
Summary
Creates new urban transit service and security grants to help cities expand public transportation frequency, coverage, and safety. This bill would add a new formula program that funds operating costs, planning, security, and safety projects for urbanized areas.
Show full summary
- Riders and households: Grants would target increases in service quality, frequency, or geographic availability so transit systems can run more or better routes where needed.
- Transit agencies and local governments: Funding is apportioned by each area's share of recently reported operating expenses. The federal share for operating expenses would be 80 percent of net project cost and agencies may provide extra local match.
- Safety and security personnel: Grants can cover capital and operating costs for security, including law enforcement or other security staff, and for safety risk mitigations recommended by a recipient's safety committee.
- Planning and program rules: The program would pay for planning service adjustments and would not require operating grants to be listed in transportation planning documents (TIP, MTP, STIP). Operating and planning assistance may not be used to switch fixed‑route service to third‑party on‑demand providers.

More transit grants for urban areas
This bill would create a new federal grant program for urbanized areas. Grants could pay operating costs, planning, security, and safety projects for transit. Each area's yearly share would equal the program total times that area's share of reported operating expenses. Operating grants would have an 80% federal share of net project cost. Recipients would have to certify the funds increase or support vehicle revenue service and keep non-Federal operating and security spending at or above recent levels. The bill would bar using operating or planning funds to convert existing fixed-route service to third-party on-demand contracts. The program would take effect upon enactment.
