Creates a grant program to build barriers near homes affected by train noise or damage.
This bill would create a new federal grant program to help communities build barriers between train tracks and nearby homes. These barriers would reduce problems like train noise, vibrations, and potential damage from derailments. Currently, there isn't a dedicated federal program for this type of project.
Today, there is no specific federal grant program to help communities build barriers to protect homes from train noise, vibrations, or derailment damage. If this bill passes, the Department of Transportation would create a new grant program. It would set aside $100 million each year from the government's budget year 2026 to 2030 to fund barrier projects for affected residential areas.
