PATH to Education Act

This bill creates a federal grant program for public transit providers that partner with community colleges, minority-serving institutions, career and technical schools, rural-serving colleges, or center-based Head Start programs. Grants could pay for adding bus or rail stops and routes, increasing how often service runs, adjusting schedules to match class or Head Start times, and related operating costs. The program would exist in both the urban and rural transit grant programs, with money set aside rising from $1 million in fiscal year 2027 to $5 million in fiscal year 2031 for each. Priority would go to partnerships that include a school where more than 25 percent of students receive Federal Pell Grants.
