AI-Generated Summary

Updated February 8, 2026 at 1:15 AM UTC

The Small Community Transit Improvement Act of 2021 changes how federal transit funding is divided. It directs that a portion of the money not already allocated under existing rules be set aside for smaller urban areas. Specifically, it targets cities with fewer than 200,000 residents that have a high reliance on transit. This affects the distribution of funds to small, transit‑intensive communities across the United States.

Key Provisions

Amends 49 U.S.C. § 5336(h)(3) to require that 3.0 percent of amounts not apportioned under paragraphs (1) and (2) be allocated to urbanized areas with populations under 200,000.
