Bill > HR3822

This bill aims to prohibit federal funding for streetcars across multiple transportation funding programs. Specifically, the bill would prevent states from using Surface Transportation Block Grant Program funds, Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program funds, Urbanized Area Formula Grants, and Fixed Guideway Capital Investment Grants for the procurement, operation, or maintenance of streetcars. A streetcar is a type of rail vehicle that runs on tracks along public urban streets, typically used for public transportation. By adding prohibitive language to existing sections of Titles 23 and 49 of the United States Code, the bill seeks to restrict federal financial support for streetcar projects, effectively making it more difficult for cities and states to develop or maintain streetcar systems using federal transportation funding. The bill's title, "No Desire for Streetcars Act," clearly indicates its intent to discourage streetcar infrastructure development by eliminating federal funding sources traditionally available for such projects.
