APTA President and CEO Paul P. Skoutelas expressed strong support for President Trump's FY 2026 Budget proposal, which allocates $21.2 billion for public transit and $16.4 billion for passenger and freight rail. This investment marks an increase over previous budgets and signifies a commitment to enhance public transportation accessibility and reliability. Such funding is expected to generate jobs, support American manufacturers, and ultimately stimulate economic growth, making public transit a key part of the nation's infrastructure development strategy.
APTA applauds President Trump's historic investment in public transit and passenger rail infrastructure in his FY 2026 Budget request.
These investments will benefit American manufacturers and suppliers who build the buses, railcars, and other equipment that keep our public transit systems running.
