Promotes access to transit in high-growth communities by allowing ridership forecasting methods in transit project justifications.

The PATH Act amends title 49, United States Code, to include certain ridership forecasting methods in determinations of whether a project under the fixed guideway capital investment grants program is justified. This includes methods that account for population density, population growth rate, and development planning activities. The bill aims to better align transit projects with the needs of high-growth communities.
