Transportation Assistance for Olympic and World Cup Cities Act of 2025

This bill would create a federal program to help with transportation for cities hosting international sporting events in the United States, such as the Olympics, Paralympics, Special Olympics, and FIFA World Cups. The Secretary of Transportation would divide grant money evenly among the metropolitan planning organizations where an event is held, up to $10 million each, before moving on to the next upcoming event. These organizations could use the money for transportation projects and planning within 100 miles of the event, or pass it to nearby governments, tribes, rail operators, and airports. The money could not be used for temporary event infrastructure or for preparing a bid to host an event. The bill authorizes $50 million per year and would also have the Secretary provide planning help, including bus-sharing programs, from 5 years before an event until 30 days after it ends.
