Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Connecting Communities Through Transit Planning Act of 2026

Key claim: A House bill titled the Connecting Communities Through Transit Planning Act of 2026 has been introduced and sent to the Highways and Transit Subcommittee, but it is not law.

Abstract

(HR7298 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-01-31): Referred to the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit.

Why this matters

Transit planning authorities and funding conditions shape how metropolitan planning organizations and transit agencies design projects and seek federal support. A new House bill on transit planning, even at the introduction stage, signals congressional interest in adjusting those frameworks, though no rules or funding have changed. Tracking it alongside other FTA-related measures helps distinguish aspirational proposals from enacted policy.
