Medium Transit Intensive Cities Authorization Act of 2026

This bill changes the federal formula for transit grants to urban areas. It sets aside 1.5 percent of certain remaining transit formula funds for urban areas with populations from 200,000 to 999,999. Those funds would go to mid-sized areas that match or beat the average transit performance of urban areas with 1 million or more people in at least one of six measures, such as passengers per person or passenger miles per vehicle hour. Each eligible area's share would depend on how many of the six measures it meets or exceeds, using National Transit Database data.
