FY 2027 THUD Appropriations Bill Provides Funding for Transit Security Grants

Today (June 5, 2026), the House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee approved H.R.___, the “Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2027” (DHS Appropriations Act), by a voice vote. The House Committee on Appropriations is scheduled to consider the bill on June 10, 2026.

The legislation provides $88 million for the Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2027, a decrease of $350,000 (-0.4 percent) from the FY 2026 enacted level. The amount provided by the DHS Appropriations Act is an increase of $47 million (115 percent) from the President’s FY 2027 Budget request.

For TSGP and other Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grants, section 302 of the bill limits administrative expenses to not more than five percent of the grant. Further, for these grants, section 303 requires:

  • FEMA to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity within 60 days of the date of enactment;
  • Applicants to submit applications within 80 days of the grant announcement; and
  • FEMA to act within 65 days of receipt of an application.

Finally, section 304 requires FEMA to brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations five full business days in advance of publicly announcing the intention of making a TSGP or other FEMA grant award.
