Occurrences
Evidence

Senator Cortez Masto's official Senate office announced that she and Senator Todd Young introduced the Safe Bus Routes to School Act. The release states that the bill would modify the Safe Routes to School program so projects improving school bus route and stop safety could receive federal funding.
Assessments
Cortez Masto personally introduced bipartisan legislation, the Safe Bus Routes to School Act, that directly matches the promise by modifying Safe Routes to School eligibility to include school bus route and stop safety projects. Because the promised action was to support legislation, introduction/sponsorship is enough to count as delivered even if final enactment is not shown. The 2026 action occurred during a later Senate term rather than the initial federal term tied to the campaign promise context.
The promise was to support legislation making school bus route and stop safety projects eligible under the Safe Routes to School program. In May 2026, Cortez Masto co-introduced the Safe Bus Routes to School Act, which directly matches that commitment. Because this pledge was about supporting legislation rather than ensuring final enactment, her sponsorship of the exact bill fulfills the promise, and it occurred during her current Senate term.
