Easier approval for long-distance rail
This bill would stop the Secretary from counting promised non‑Federal money for operating or capital costs when picking long‑distance intercity passenger rail corridors. States, local governments, and rail operators proposing long‑distance routes would be less likely to be penalized for lacking non‑Federal commitments. This is a selection rule change, not a new federal payment. If enacted, it would take effect upon enactment and apply only to long‑distance routes.
