PATH to Education Act

This bill would create federal grants for public transit providers that partner with community colleges, minority-serving institutions, center-based Head Start or Early Head Start programs, area career and technical schools, or rural-serving colleges. Grant money could be used to add bus or rail stops, routes, and paratransit service to these campuses, to change how often or when routes run so students and Head Start families can get to and from classes and programs, and to pay related operating costs. The grants would be offered under both the urban and rural federal transit formula programs. Each program would set aside $1 million in fiscal year 2027, rising by $1 million each year to $5 million in fiscal year 2031. Priority would go to partnerships that include a school where more than 25 percent of students receive Federal Pell Grants.
