This bill amends the FAST Act (a major federal transportation law) to allow local governments to work together on cooperative procurement contracts when purchasing buses and related transit equipment. Currently, the law permits only state governments to enter into these joint purchasing agreements, which can help reduce costs through bulk buying. By extending this authority to local governments, the legislation aims to give cities and transit agencies more flexibility and potential savings when procuring public transportation vehicles and equipment. The bill does not specify new funding amounts or implementation timelines. It was introduced in April 2024 and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
