Referred to the Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials.
The Saving Transit Art Resources Act (STAR Act) modifies federal transit funding rules to allow certain money to be used for the incremental costs of adding art to public transportation facilities. Currently, federal transit funds have restrictions that limit spending on artistic elements in transit projects, and this bill removes those restrictions so transit agencies can more easily incorporate public art into their facilities. The legislation affects public transit systems across the country that receive federal funding through titles 49 of the United States Code. While the bill text does not specify new funding amounts or timelines, it represents a policy change to give transit agencies more flexibility in how they use existing federal transit dollars for infrastructure projects that include artistic components.
