Ossoff is cosponsoring the bipartisan Streamline Transit Projects Act, legislation to help reduce transit project delays by streamlining the environmental review process for projects that would have little to no environmental impact.\n\nThe bill aims to more quickly deliver critical public transportation improvements and improve transit access and service for riders.\n\nThe bipartisan bill was first introduced by Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Reverend Raphael Warnock (D-GA).\n\n\u201cMany Georgians depend on public transportation to get around their communities,\u201d Sen. Ossoff said. \u201cThis bipartisan legislation will help expand transit programs across Georgia by cutting back on unnecessary and costly administrative delays.\u201d\n\nSen. Ossoff continues working to upgrade Georgia\u2019s infrastructure.\n\nLast year, Sen. Ossoff announced grant funding was available for key transportation projects through the bipartisan infrastructure law.\n\nAlso last year, Sen. Ossoff delivered Federal resources through the Railroad Crossing Elimination Grant Program, created and funded through the bipartisan infrastructure law, to help eliminate blocked railroad crossings across Georgia.\n\nIn March 2024, Sens. Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock announced the State of Georgia will receive $122,457,266 in Federal resources for transit infrastructure upgrades across the state in partial Fiscal Year 2024 funding, authorized by the bipartisan infrastructure law.\n\nIn March 2024, Sens. Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock and Congresswoman Nikema Williams (GA-05) announced two Federal grants for The Stitch and for a new multi-use trail connecting the Atlanta BeltLine with the Flint River Trail.\n\nClick here to read the Streamline Transit Projects Act.\n\n# # #", 1, "2026-09-22T09:42:49Z", "2026-09-22T09:44:35Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.ossoff.senate.gov/press-releases/sen-ossoff-working-to-improve-public-transportation-across-georgia/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.7932639457285404, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
