## Summary

**Creates a new federal grant program to harden public transit against climate threats.** It funds projects that protect buses, rail, and transit facilities from sea level rise, floods, wildfires, extreme heat, and other natural disasters. - Transit agencies can get grants to pay for flood mitigation, backup power, temperature-control equipment, sensors, replacement of flood-prone gear, and system vulnerability assessments. These grants may cover standalone resilience projects or components of larger projects. - The program targets environmental justice and underserved areas and requires public reporting on projects that benefit disadvantaged neighborhoods, including areas where 30 percent or more of households receive SNAP. That focus aims to steer resilience money to communities with higher climate and social risk. - Funding is apportioned under a set formula that directs 97.15% and 2.85% of program dollars in specified ways. The Secretary must publish yearly implementation reports and recommendations to improve administration. *Authorizes roughly $600 million in baseline increases to related transit funding and adds $300 million for fiscal year 2026, raising federal commitments by about $900 million.*
