Language Access in Transit Act

The "Language Access in Transit Act" is designed to ensure that individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP) have meaningful access to transit services. It mandates the Secretary of Transportation to take affirmative action to achieve this goal. The bill amends existing law to require that all entities receiving federal financial assistance for transit services must provide adequate language access for services funded by that assistance. This provision aims to eliminate language barriers, ensuring equitable access and preventing discrimination for LEP persons utilizing public transportation.
