Allows students at community and technical colleges to ride transit for free under the transit support grant program.

The bill amends the transit support grant program to allow students enrolled in degree-seeking or certificate-seeking programs at community or technical colleges to ride transit for free. This change aligns with existing policies that allow passengers 18 years of age and younger to ride free. Transit agencies must adopt a zero-fare policy for these students to be eligible for the grants. The bill also requires transit agencies to align their implementation of these policies with equity and environmental justice principles.
