National Transit Frontline Workforce Training Act

S. 4178 would require the Secretary of Transportation to create a transit workforce center. Based on the bill's title, this center would focus on workforce development and training related to public transportation systems. The legislation is currently in the early stages of the congressional process, having been introduced in the Senate on March 24, 2026, and referred to committee for consideration. If enacted, the bill could help address workforce needs in the public transit sector by establishing a dedicated federal resource for training, employment support, and workforce planning in this industry. Citizens who depend on public transportation or work in transit-related fields could potentially benefit from improved training programs and career development opportunities that such a center might provide.
