The Thriving Communities Act of 2025 directs the Department of Transportation and Department of Housing and Urban Development to establish a new grant program that provides technical assistance and funding to help fast-growing communities develop major infrastructure projects. The program aims to support transit-oriented development—building housing and other uses near public transportation—in communities experiencing rapid growth. The legislation authorizes $100 million annually for the Transportation Department and $5.5 million for the Housing and Urban Development Department to run the program and coordinate efforts. The bill requires the Transportation Secretary to report to Congress on how the program promotes transit-oriented development, how well the two departments coordinate, and what criteria are used to distribute the grant funding.
