Requires new funds to help businesses and nonprofits hurt by big road and transit projects.
This bill would make sure that businesses and nonprofits get financial help if they are negatively impacted by large federal transportation projects. It would require local project leaders to set aside money in a special fund to cover expenses like lost income or rent during construction. This changes current law, which does not require such funds.
Today, federal law does not explicitly require local leaders receiving federal transportation money to set aside funds to help businesses or nonprofits financially impacted by construction. This bill would change that by requiring project sponsors for transit projects costing $100 million or more, and highway projects costing $50 million or more, to create a dedicated fund to cover expenses like lost income or rent for affected entities. It would also create a one-time grant program for specific ongoing transit projects.
