S 2957 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Small Communities Transit Improvement Act
To increase the apportionment of formula grants for small transit intensive cities.
Summary
This bill would increase the federal apportionment of formula grants for small transit intensive cities by modifying the allocation percentage from 3 percent to 5 percent under federal transit grant provisions. The change would direct a larger share of federal public transportation funding to smaller communities with significant transit needs, increasing the resources available to these areas for transit infrastructure and operations.
