Sponsored By: Representative Min, Dave [D-CA-47]

Introduced

Summary

Creates a federal requirement to collect and publish passenger street harassment data on public transit. The bill would make larger urban transit agencies set up multilingual reporting systems, gather demographic and incident details, and feed that information into the National Transit Database for use in safety planning and public transparency.

Show full summary
  • Passengers: Riders would get accessible digital and in-person ways to report harassment in multiple languages, and anonymized incident data would be published online to show where and how harassment happens.
  • Transit agencies: Agencies that receive federal urban transit funds and serve areas of 200,000 or more people would have to add street harassment data collection and response protocols to their agency safety plans.
  • National reporting and safety planning: The National Transit Database would include the collected street harassment data so federal and local planners can analyze patterns and inform safety responses.

Street harassment reporting on transit

If enacted, transit agencies that get federal 5307 money and serve cities of 200,000+ would have to add a program to their safety plans to collect passenger reports of street harassment. The program would require digital and in-person reporting, multilingual outreach, and written protocols to respond to reports. Agencies would collect incident details (frequency, type, location, time), whether it was verbal, physical, or sexual, demographic and perceived-basis information (race, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, income, primary language, sex, sexual orientation), and how the incident affected the rider's transit use. Agencies would publish the collected data online without names and would include the data in the national transit database. The bill would also define "street harassment" so agencies know what incidents to count and report.
