This legislation, known as the Transit Workforce Development Act, aims to enhance workforce development and training within the public transit sector. It amends sections 5314 and 5339 of title 49, United States Code, to allow recipients of federal grants for buses and bus facilities to allocate a larger portion of these funds towards training initiatives. Specifically, the bill increases the maximum percentage of certain grant funds that can be used for workforce development from 5 percent to 10 percent . Furthermore, it significantly broadens the scope of eligible training, moving beyond a previous focus solely on zero-emission vehicles. The amended language permits funds to be used for training related to all buses and related equipment and the construction of bus-related facilities , thereby supporting a wider range of transit workforce needs.
