Bill > HR2526

This bill, known as the Bus Parity and Clarity Act, amends existing transportation laws to clarify and standardize access for over-the-road buses (large buses typically used for long-distance travel) on toll roads, bridges, tunnels, ferries, and high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities. The bill modifies language in two key sections of U.S. Code to replace the phrase "serving the public" with "in scheduled or charter service" and provides a specific definition for "charter service" by referencing federal regulations. It requires the Federal Highway Administration to publish an annual online database detailing the rates, terms, and conditions for toll facilities, ensuring transparency. The bill also mandates that public authorities provide over-the-road buses in scheduled or charter service equal access to toll facilities under the same rates and conditions as public transportation vehicles. By defining key terms such as "over-the-road bus" and "public transportation vehicle," the legislation aims to create more consistent and clear guidelines for bus transportation access across different types of transportation infrastructure.
