Bill > HR3090

This bill, the Interstate Rail Compacts Advancement Act of 2021, establishes a grant program to support interstate rail compacts and improve the safety, efficiency, or reliability of passenger and freight rail transportation systems. The bill requires the Secretary of Transportation to create a website listing existing interstate rail compacts and provide information to the public on how to establish new ones. It also authorizes the Secretary to provide administrative assistance grants on a competitive basis to applicants, such as interstate rail compacts or commissions, to promote and develop intercity passenger rail service, including restoring or enhancing existing service. The bill sets criteria for selecting grant recipients and requires them to meet certain performance measures and provide non-Federal matching funds.
