The Stronger Communities Through Better Transit Act, reintroduced by Representative Hank Johnson and supported by Representative Jerry Nadler, aims to invest $80 billion over four years, with $20 billion in annual funding, to enhance transit systems across the U.S. This legislation focuses on frequent service for bus and rail lines, especially in underserved and disadvantaged communities. It is expected to increase service by 40 percent, ensuring transit availability every 15 minutes daily. Representative Frederica Wilson highlighted the act's significance for South Florida, and a $159 million grant from @USDOT to @PGHtransit supports related rapid transit projects.
