“which would provide $25 billion to communities to pilot fare free service and expand existing transit service”
Does the text of the Freedom to Move Act as introduced provide $25 billion in funding for fare-free transit pilots and expansion of existing transit service?
H.R. 4719, Freedom to Move Act, authorizes $5,000,000,000 for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. Its text reads: “There is authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section $5,000,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2026 through 2030.”. The record reports 5 billion against the 25 billion stated.
