Boosts U.S. rail with over $200 billion for modernizing tracks, electric trains, and worker training.
This bill would set aside over $200 billion to upgrade America's railroads over five years. It would create new grant programs for states to improve passenger and freight lines, fund electric trains, and establish training centers for rail workers. This means more reliable, cleaner train travel and new job opportunities for many Americans.
Today, federal rail grants exist but lack a dedicated formula program for states and a specific fund for rail electrification. After this bill, states would receive guaranteed annual funding for rail projects, and a $50 billion "Green Railroads Fund" would specifically support electric train operations. Overall, over $200 billion would be authorized for rail improvements, including significant investments in passenger rail, climate resilience, and new workforce training centers.
