A bill to amend the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964 to require public hearings before any increase in fares.

Summary

Amends the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964 to prohibit the Secretary of Transportation from approving any grant or loan under such Act unless the applicant gives satisfactory assurances that prior to the establishment or change in any fare or service which may substantially effect any community or segment thereof, the applicant will conduct public hearings with adequate prior notice and consider the impact on the community of such establishment or change in fare or service. Directs the Secretary, upon a determination that a fare or service has been established or changed without such public hearing, to suspend any further grant or loan payments and to disapprove any further grant or loan applications until the applicant has complied with the procedural requirements specified in this Act.
