## Provisions PRIA read

- More money to fix crossings: benefit, high. If enacted, $10 billion over five years starting October 1, 2025 would go to grants that remove or fix rail‑road crossings. The bill would also require at least half of a separate annual set‑aside to go to protective devices at crossings. This could improve safety and reduce delays for drivers, ped…
- National rail workforce training: benefit, high. If enacted, a national rail workforce training program would start October 1, 2025. It would create passenger and freight training centers and fund classroom, hands‑on, and on‑the‑job training. The program would support apprenticeships and training for zero‑emission rail technology, safety, and eme…
- Amtrak funding and climate upgrades: benefit, high. If enacted, Amtrak would receive $30 billion over five years starting October 1, 2025. At least $5 billion would be set aside for climate resiliency projects. These projects would address flooding, sea‑level rise, storms, erosion, and extreme heat.
- Big grants to electrify rail: benefit, high. If enacted, the government would offer $80 billion over five years starting October 1, 2025 for rail electrification. Grants would fund wires and in‑motion charging, electric locomotives and trains, and electrified yards and corridors. Class I railroads would qualify only if funds go to electrifica…
- More money for passenger rail: benefit, high. If enacted, passenger rail would get major funding. The bill would provide $80 billion over five years for high‑performance rail projects, with cost‑benefit tests counting electrification benefits. States would get $3.5 billion over five years, with at least $5 million per State each year for five…
- Grants to cut railyard pollution: benefit, medium. If enacted, EPA would run a railyard air‑pollution grant program. EPA would receive $500 million over five years starting October 1, 2025. Grants would help states and local areas cut pollution from railyards and monitor health safeguards.
- Study power lines along rail: benefit, low. If enacted, the Transportation Department would study putting power lines along or in rail corridors within 180 days. The study would look at feasibility, benefits, equity impacts, and challenges. The Department could recommend a task force, priority corridors, and incentives.
- Prevailing wages on rail projects: mixed, high. If enacted, construction work paid for by this Act would have to pay Davis‑Bacon prevailing wages. Contractors and subcontractors would need to pay at least the local prevailing rate set by the Labor Department. The Labor Department would enforce these wage rules. This could raise pay for covered w…
- Who counts as a rail employer: mixed, low. If enacted, people doing passenger rail work on infrastructure funded by this Act would be treated as rail carriers and employers for railroad labor and benefit laws. Construction firms doing building work would not become rail carriers just for that work, except for rail maintenance and repair nor…
