FULLY FUND BILL 24-0429 — the District Resident Transit Subsidy Program

Why is this important?
Providing a $1,200 monthly transit stipend will make everyday life in D.C. more affordable. Reliable, no-cost transportation reduces a major household expense, freeing up dollars for rent, groceries, childcare, and healthcare. It also cuts the hidden costs of missed shifts and appointments, strengthens access to opportunity, and lessens fare-enforcement burdens. In short, the stipend helps residents stay and thrive in D.C. by lowering the total cost of living.
