Evidence

legacy_unverified · Source version not recorded · locator unknown

GovInfo lists H.R. 8362, the Transit Workforce Development Act, sponsored by Frederica S. Wilson. Its full title is to amend 49 U.S.C. 5314 and 5339 to allow part of bus grants to be used for workforce development and training. The listed action is introduction and referral to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, with last action date April 16, 2026.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Wilson introduced a bill directly matching the commitment, but the official record shows only introduction and committee referral, not enactment or implementation.

FTA's FY 2026 Bus and Low-No NOFO says current eligible activities allow, for both programs, up to 0.5 percent of the federal request for workforce development training and an additional 0.5 percent for National Transit Institute training; zero-emission projects must use 5 percent for workforce development unless less is certified as needed.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The latest FTA funding notice still reflects limited training eligibility under existing law, rather than Wilson's proposed expansion across all 49 U.S.C. 5339 bus programs.

Wilson introduced H.R. 8362 in the 119th Congress to amend 49 U.S.C. 5339 and expand bus-grant workforce training eligibility, which is a serious, directly relevant legislative attempt. But the record shows the bill only reached introduction and committee referral as of April 16, 2026, and FTA's FY 2026 Bus and Low-No notice still applies limited training allowances rather than the promised broader eligibility. The promised statutory expansion has therefore not been delivered.
