Students and Head Start families would get better public transit to schools and programs
This bill would create new federal grants to help public transportation providers partner with schools and Head Start programs. These grants would pay for new bus or rail routes, more frequent service, or adjusted schedules. The goal is to make it easier for students and Head Start families to get to their classes and programs.
Today, there are no specific federal grants dedicated to helping public transportation connect students and Head Start families to their schools. If this bill becomes law, it would create two new grant programs, setting aside $1 million for each in the government's budget year 2027, increasing to $5 million by 2031, to fund improved transit services for these groups.
