## Summary

**Prohibits federal funding for certain Chinese‑linked transit vehicles and related vehicle technology.** The bill would bar federal transit dollars from buying covered rolling stock or installing fueling or charging infrastructure tied to entities linked to the People’s Republic of China and set rules for identifying those entities. - Transit agencies and local governments would be unable to use federal grants or contracts to procure covered buses or other rolling stock or to build bus fueling or charging infrastructure when contracts are executed after enactment. This limits which suppliers are eligible for federally funded purchases. - U.S. and allied manufacturers and suppliers would face a procurement environment that excludes entities on a federal "covered entities" list, shifting federally funded demand away from listed providers. - Federal agencies and national security officials would get a concrete process to enforce the ban. The United States Trade Representative must publish a list of covered entities within 30 days and update it every 90 days for the first 180 days and then annually. The bill allows exceptions for inspection, investigation, or safety testing and includes severability language.

- Existing transit contracts could continue: benefit, medium. If enacted, transit agencies could keep using chapter 53 funds for contracts that were eligible before the bill’s enactment, until all rolling stock is delivered. This only covers contracts or subcontracts that were eligible before enactment. This lets existing orders proceed under prior eligibilit…
- Severability keeps remaining rules in force: benefit, low. If enacted, if a court strikes down part of these rules, the rest would still stand. This would apply to the transit‑procurement subsection and to Section 4. It would help keep the remaining parts enforceable.
- Transit grants barred from China-linked vehicles: mixed, high. If enacted, DOT and transit grant recipients would be barred from using covered funds to buy covered vehicles, or to build bus charging or fueling linked to those purchases. The ban would apply to contracts or subcontracts signed on or after enactment. A covered vehicle is rolling stock from listed…
