The Better Transit for Riders Act directs the Federal Transit Administration to establish a task force within two years to develop recommendations on best practices for how transit agencies in cities should operate and coordinate with each other. The task force, composed of up to fifteen members with expertise in transit operations, governance, and related fields like municipal government, state transportation departments, transit unions, and community groups, will examine topics including how to allocate transit funding across different needs, establish fare integration across multiple transit providers in the same region, share infrastructure, and coordinate land use planning with transit services. The task force will prioritize improving rider experience, safety, service reliability, and long-term system sustainability while considering environmental impacts and vehicle miles traveled reduction. The task force will exist for an initial two-year period with a possible two-year extension, and must submit a final report to Congress and the public with its recommendations, or an initial report if the extension is exercised. No specific funding amount is specified in the legislation.
