Streamlined Apportionment, Flexibility, and Efficiency Transit Act

This bill changes federal public transit law to ease rules for transit agencies. It would require the federal government to hand out certain formula transit funds to states and to urban areas under 1 million people by December 1 of each fiscal year, and would give recipients 5 years instead of 3 to use bus formula grants. It would let agencies keep proceeds from selling transit assets if they certify the money will go to certain capital projects, and it directs the Secretary of Transportation to reduce paperwork for projects seeking exclusion from environmental reviews. It also requires a review to cut or combine grant reporting requirements within 1 year and narrows the three-year compliance reviews of transit agencies to past problems, common problems, and a random sample of up to 5 other areas.
