Bill overview
This bill, the Public Access to Defibrillation in Transportation Facilities Act of 2025, aims to improve access to automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in locations where large crowds gather, such as transportation hubs. It proposes expanding funding for AED deployment through the Department of Transportation’s block grant program and directs the Secretary of Transportation to provide guidance and technical assistance to states and transportation facility operators. The goal is to increase the availability of life-saving AEDs and ensure effective emergency response plans are in place.
