The All Aboard Act of 2025 is a comprehensive $151.5 billion federal investment in passenger and freight rail infrastructure over five years (2025–2030), designed to modernize America's rail system and transition it to zero-emission technology by 2047. The legislation establishes three major funding programs: a State Rail Formula Grant Program providing at least $5 million annually per state, a $50 billion Green Railroads Fund for electrification projects with preference for disadvantaged communities, and $80 billion for intercity passenger rail expansion, along with $30 billion each for rail safety and Amtrak operations. The bill requires strict labor protections for all funded projects, including prevailing wages, project labor agreements, two-person train crews, and local hiring commitments, while also authorizing $500 million over five years to create two new workforce training centers (one for passenger rail, one for freight rail) to develop skilled workers in maintenance, operations, and emerging technologies. This legislation affects states, railroads, tribal nations, and rail workers nationwide by significantly expanding rail capacity and modernizing the industry while prioritizing environmental and labor standards.
