H.R.9926

Promotes access to transit in high-growth communities by amending ridership forecasting methods for fixed guideway capital investment grants.

The Promoting Access to Transit in High-Growth Communities Act, or PATH Act, amends title 49, United States Code, to include certain ridership forecasting methods in determining the justification of a project under the fixed guideway capital investment grants program. This includes methods that account for population density, population growth rate, and development planning activities. The changes aim to better reflect the needs of high-growth communities in transit project evaluations.
