This bill makes the Union Station Redevelopment Corporation eligible to receive four major federal transportation infrastructure grants: RAISE grants, National Infrastructure Project Assistance grants, Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvement grants, and Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail grants. Currently, the Union Station Redevelopment Corporation cannot access these funding programs, which are typically available to states, cities, and other transportation entities. The bill removes this restriction and allows the corporation to receive grants with a 100 percent federal funding share, meaning the federal government would cover the entire cost of eligible projects rather than requiring the corporation to contribute matching funds. The legislation applies immediately upon passage and affects only the Union Station Redevelopment Corporation, which oversees the historic Union Station in Washington, D.C. No specific dollar amounts or project timelines are specified in the bill.
