AI Summary

This bill, the Revitalizing American Priorities for Infrastructure Development Act (RAPID Act), aims to improve the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation (TIFIA) program by increasing the eligibility threshold for secured loans, implementing an expedited decision timeline for public agency borrowers meeting certain criteria, and requiring the Secretary to publish monthly and quarterly status reports on TIFIA applications and approvals. The bill increases the minimum project cost eligibility threshold for secured loans from $75 million to $150 million and allows for a faster decision timeline for certain public agency borrowers that meet specific criteria, such as having an investment-grade rating and a TIFIA program share of 33% or less of eligible project costs. The status report requirements are intended to improve transparency and accountability for the TIFIA program.
