Sens. Tim Scott (R-SC) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) introduced the Transit Crime Reporting Act of 2025 on Wednesday.
The proposed legislation is intended to help create and apply new strategies to protect public transportation commuters and transit workers, according to a release. It will also “strengthen oversight and reporting of crime on American public transportation.” The legislation also stipulates that a 13-member task force would be created to implement policy suggestions to increase safety on the country’s public transportation systems.
“The bill requires the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to enhance its reporting of violent and non-violent crimes to Congress and establishes a task force charged with recommending ways to mitigate violence on public transit,” read a release.
