Urban Mass Transportation Act

The Urban Mass Transportation Act, established in 1964, is a U.S. law aimed at improving public transit systems in urban areas. It provides federal funding to states and local governments for the development, expansion, and operation of mass transportation facilities and services. By supporting transit options like buses and subways, the Act aims to reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, and enhance mobility for residents. Ultimately, it promotes efficient and accessible public transportation, fostering economic growth and helping communities thrive.
