AI Summary
This bill establishes the Transit to Trails Grant Program, which will award grants to eligible entities like states, local governments, and Native American tribes to develop transportation connectors and provide related educational materials to increase access and mobility for critically underserved communities to public lands, waters, and recreational opportunities. The program prioritizes projects that use low- or no-emission vehicles, provide free or discounted fares for low-income riders, and are located in communities of color, low-income areas, or rural regions. The bill authorizes $10 million for the first two years, $20 million for the third and fourth years, and $40 million for the fifth year to fund the program.
