In brief

This bill allows state and local transit authorities to use federal public transportation grants to make advance payments for the purchase of buses and other transit vehicles. Recipients may pay up to 20% of the total purchase order value upfront without requiring the manufacturer to provide a performance bond or obtaining specific federal preapproval. To use this option, authorities must have a signed purchase order and an execution contract that includes these payment terms. Introduced by Senator Tina Smith (D-MN), the legislation is currently awaiting consideration by the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
