The STAR Act (Saving Transit Art Resources Act) amends federal transportation law to allow transit agencies to use certain federal funds for the incremental costs of incorporating public art into transit facilities. Currently, federal rules restrict how transit funding can be spent, but this bill removes those restrictions to permit art integration as an allowable use of these funds. The legislation affects public transit systems that receive federal funding under the specified transportation programs. The bill does not specify new funding amounts or timelines, but rather clarifies how existing federal transit dollars can be allocated to support public art in transportation infrastructure.
