What this bill would do
This bill is called the Transit Crime Reporting Act of 2025. It requires the Secretary of Transportation to submit an annual report on all crime happening on federally funded transit systems. This report must break the crimes down into violent and non-violent categories. The bill also orders the Administrator of the Federal Transit Administration to create a safety task force. This task force must include transit agency leaders, law enforcement, transit employee representatives, and national transit association representatives. Finally, the task force is required to submit an interim report and a final report with recommendations to Congress.
