Summary
The Investments in Rural Transit Act would raise the federal operating share for rural transit, broaden procurement eligibility to include local governments and nonprofit groups, and create new reporting and advisory processes. It also sets aside at least 5% of certain mass‑transit funds for tribal projects, allows up to full federal cost coverage for those projects, and establishes a new associate administrator focused on tribal transit. Finally, the law requires a joint Transportation‑Energy report on low‑ and no‑emission procurement opportunities for rural areas.
