New grants would help fix aging commuter rail bridges, making rides safer and more reliable.
This bill would create a new federal grant program to help public transportation systems pay for repairs, replacements, and upgrades to commuter rail bridges. It would set aside $1.5 billion each year from 2027 to 2031 for these projects. Commuters and intercity rail passengers would benefit from improved infrastructure, leading to fewer delays and safer travel.
Currently, there is no specific federal grant program to help pay for the maintenance, replacement, and rehabilitation of commuter rail bridges. This bill would create a new "Commuter Rail Bridge Grants" program, allowing the Secretary of Transportation to award competitive grants to public transportation system operators for these capital costs. It would authorize $1.5 billion for this program each year from the government's budget year 2027 through 2031.
