Transit Crime Reporting Act of 2025

# Transit Crime Reporting Act of 2025 — Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** The Transit Crime Reporting Act of 2025 would require public transit systems across the United States to collect and report crime data to federal authorities on a regular basis. This would create a standardized national database of crimes occurring on buses, trains, and other public transportation systems, making it easier for the federal government and the public to track safety trends on transit networks. **Who It Affects:** Public transit agencies (like city bus and subway systems) would bear the primary responsibility for collecting and submitting crime reports. Riders and communities that use public transportation could benefit from increased transparency about safety conditions.

Law enforcement and policymakers would gain better data to address transit-related crime. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. It was sponsored by Senator Tim Scott (R-SC). Since it remains in committee, it has not become law and would require further legislative action to move forward.
