BUFFER Act

This bill would require the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, through the Federal Transit Administration, to issue rules and guidance within one year. These rules would let a regional transportation planning organization, upon request, raise its spare bus ratio to 30 percent. To qualify, the organization would have to certify that its region regularly has extreme weather events. It would also have to describe how that weather has disrupted bus service and how more spare buses would keep fixed bus routes reliable during extreme weather.
