Bill > HR5677

This bill, known as the "RIDE FAST Act", proposes to extend the authorization for grants related to intercity passenger rail from fiscal year 2026 to fiscal year 2032. Specifically, the bill amends Section 22106(a) of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act by changing the expiration year for grant funding. This means that federal funding for certain intercity passenger rail improvement projects will continue for an additional six years beyond the current authorization. The extension will provide continued financial support for rail infrastructure development and expansion, allowing transportation authorities to plan and implement long-term rail improvement projects with greater certainty about available federal funding. By extending the grant authorization, the bill aims to support ongoing efforts to enhance and modernize passenger rail infrastructure across the United States.
