Federal task force would recommend benchmarks for regional transit

The Federal Transit Administration Administrator would convene a task force to recommend transit benchmarks. The task force would address urbanized areas and regions served by multiple transit agencies, including how agencies use funds, coordinate services, improve access, and plan transit with land use. The task force would make recommendations; the text does not require transit agencies to adopt them. The Administrator would convene the task force no later than two years after the Act takes effect. It would run for two years, with an option for the Administrator to extend it by two more years; it would report to Congress and the public by the date it ends.
