This bill makes the Union Station Redevelopment Corporation eligible to receive four types of federal transportation and infrastructure grants that it currently cannot access: RAISE grants, National Infrastructure Project Assistance grants, Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvement grants, and Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail grants. The legislation, introduced in September 2024, removes financial barriers for the corporation by allowing it to receive 100 percent federal funding for these programs, whereas other eligible entities typically must provide a local cost-share. The Union Station Redevelopment Corporation, which works on redevelopment projects at Union Station in Washington, D.C., would benefit directly from this expanded eligibility. The bill makes no specific appropriations or funding amounts, instead creating the legal authority for the corporation to compete for existing federal grant programs administered by the Department of Transportation.
