PATH Act

This bill changes the rules for a federal grant program that helps pay for fixed guideway transit projects, such as rail and bus rapid transit lines. When the federal government decides whether a project is justified, applicants could use ridership forecasting methods that account for population density, population growth rate, and development planning activities. The bill also lets the review use either population density or population growth rate, whichever is most beneficial to the project's ridership forecast. These changes apply to both new fixed guideway projects and core capacity improvement projects.
