PATH Act

This bill changes how the federal government decides whether a transit project qualifies for funding under the fixed guideway capital investment grants program. It allows project sponsors to use ridership forecasts that account for population density, population growth rate, and development planning activities. It also lets reviewers consider either population density or population growth rate, whichever helps the project's ridership forecast more, along with current transit ridership in the corridor and development planning activities. These changes apply to both new fixed guideway projects and core capacity improvement projects.
