Creates a grant program to make old train stations more accessible for people with disabilities.
This bill would create a new grant program to help state and local governments upgrade older train stations. The goal is to make these stations more accessible for people with disabilities, including those who use wheelchairs. This means more ramps, elevators, and other improvements at stations built before 1990.
Today, there is no specific federal grant program to help state and local governments upgrade older train stations to meet modern accessibility standards. If this bill becomes law, it would create a new competitive grant program, setting aside $350 million each year starting in the government's budget year 2027, to fund these crucial upgrades for stations built before July 26, 1990.
