Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require public transit agencies that receive federal Section 5307 funds and serve urban areas of 200,000 or more people to include a program in their safety plans to collect data on street harassment of passengers. Agencies would need to set up online and in-person ways for passengers to report harassment they experienced or witnessed, including details about the incident and the passenger's demographic information. Agencies would collect data and do outreach in multiple languages, publish the collected data online without personal identifying information, and set up protocols for responding to reports. The bill defines street harassment and requires agencies to report this data to the National Transit Database.
