Transit Workforce Development Act

This bill changes federal bus grant programs so that more of the money can be used to train transit workers. It would raise the share of certain bus grant funds that recipients may spend on workforce development and training from 5 percent to 10 percent. It would allow this training money to come from all three bus grant programs under section 5339, not only the zero-emission and bus facilities programs. Training could relate to buses, related equipment, and bus facilities in general, rather than only zero-emission vehicles, and would no longer need to be tied to a plan for the shift to zero-emission vehicles.
