What this bill would do
The Safe Transit for All Act of 2026 seeks to amend title 49 of the United States Code. It requires certain recipients of Federal assistance for public transit systems to create programs to collect data on passenger street harassment. This applies to recipients serving urbanized areas with a population of 200,000 or more. The program must include digital and in-person reporting mechanisms. It also requires the collection of specific demographic and incident details. Finally, the act mandates the public posting of this collected data on a website.
