The Union Station Redevelopment Corporation Funding Eligibility Act makes the Union Station Redevelopment Corporation (USRC) eligible to receive federal transportation infrastructure grants that were previously available only to other entities. Specifically, the bill allows USRC to apply for BUILD grants (which fund national infrastructure projects), National Infrastructure Project Assistance grants, Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvement grants, and Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail grants—all administered by the Department of Transportation. A key feature of the legislation is that it establishes a 100 percent federal funding share for USRC projects under all four grant programs, meaning the federal government would cover the full cost rather than requiring local matching funds. The bill does not specify a total funding amount or implementation timeline, but rather changes eligibility rules and cost-sharing requirements to benefit this specific corporation focused on redeveloping Union Station.
