Connecting Veterans to Care Act of 2025

This bill would change federal transit grant rules so that money from urbanized area formula grants could be used to pay operating costs for public transportation that serves a Department of Veterans Affairs medical facility. Currently, these operating-cost grants are limited to transit in urbanized areas with fewer than 200,000 people, and that eligibility would remain. Transit agencies using funds for veterans' medical facility service would have to certify to the Secretary of Transportation within 30 days of first receiving funds, and every year after, that the money will be used for that service. If the Secretary finds an agency did not provide the service as certified during a fiscal year, the Secretary would suspend that operating-cost assistance.
