Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title 49, United States Code, to provide eligibility for projects to develop and implement regenerative braking and energy storage technologies under the consolidated rail infrastructure and safety improvements program, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements program to expand eligibility for commuter rail passenger transportation entities to apply for funding specifically for projects involving regenerative braking and energy storage technologies. Regenerative braking is a technology that allows trains to capture and reuse the energy typically lost during braking, converting kinetic energy back into electrical energy that can be stored and reused, which can improve overall energy efficiency. By adding this provision to section 22907 of title 49 of the United States Code, the bill creates a new opportunity for commuter rail systems to receive federal funding to develop and implement these innovative green technologies, potentially reducing operational costs and environmental impact of rail transportation.
