This bill requires certain public transit agencies that receive urbanized-area federal funds and serve areas of 200,000 people or more to create a program to collect data on street harassment targeted at passengers. The program must provide accessible digital and in-person reporting tools; collect information on the frequency, type, location, and time of incidents (including whether harassment was verbal, a physical assault, or a sexual assault); gather demographic information (race, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, income, primary language, sex, and sexual orientation); record actual or perceived characteristics that may have been the basis for the incident; and record the impact of the incident on the passenger, including whether it affects their use of transit. The program must conduct outreach in multiple languages, publish the collected data on a public website in a timely way without personally identifiable information, and establish protocols for responding to reports. The bill adds a definition of "street harassment" and requires recipients to include any collected street harassment data in reports to the National Transit Database.
