Faster Buses Better Futures Act

This bill would create a federal grant program for transit agencies that redesign their bus networks with a plan expected to double ridership within six years, authorizing $250 billion for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. It would require urban transit grant recipients to plan a bus network redesign by 2045. It would also fund reimbursements for bus stop shelters and grants to make older stations accessible to people with disabilities. Owners of public roads would have to work with transit agencies on requests for bus lanes and other transit priority measures, and states and regional planning groups would have to finish those requested projects before building or rebuilding lanes for single-occupancy vehicles. The bill also lets states jointly buy bus stop equipment and funds Federal Transit Administration staff.
