Transit Crime Reporting Act of 2025

This legislation, known as the Transit Crime Reporting Act of 2025, aims to improve safety on transit systems by enhancing data collection and developing actionable recommendations. It requires the Secretary of Transportation to submit an annual report to Congress detailing all crime on federally funded transit systems, specifically differentiating between violent and non-violent incidents. This report, based on data transit agencies already provide to the National Transit Database, will be submitted within 90 days of enactment and annually thereafter.

Furthermore, the bill mandates the establishment of a **Task Force** within the Federal Transit Administration, chaired by its Administrator. This Task Force will comprise diverse stakeholders, including leaders from various transit agencies, law enforcement representatives, transit employee representatives, and national transit association representatives. Its primary objective is to provide comprehensive recommendations for **enhancing safety** on transit systems.

The Task Force is required to submit an interim report to Congress within one year and a final report within two years. The final report will specifically outline recommendations for how the Federal Government can empower stakeholders to improve transit safety through deregulatory, regulatory, or legislative actions.
