I don't understand why this bill is changing the project eligibility for the transit-oriented development planning grant program. It seems like it could have negative impacts on communities that rely on public transportation. The long term effects of this bill are uncertain, but it's important to consider how it may affect those who depend on public transportation for their daily commute.
