Plain Language Summary
# Transportation Assistance for Olympic and World Cup Cities Act of 2025 **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would provide federal transportation funding and assistance to U.S. cities that host the Olympic Games or FIFA World Cup soccer tournament.

The bill could also benefit travelers, local residents, and event attendees by improving transportation systems in host communities.
Federal taxpayers would fund these improvements. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill (S 1218) is in committee in the Senate and has not yet been voted on. Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS) introduced the legislation in the 119th Congress.
