This bill would repeal the federal Capital Investment Grants program, which currently provides funding to cities and transit agencies for building and expanding major public transportation infrastructure like rail systems and bus rapid transit lines. The legislation would eliminate Section 5309 of federal transportation law, which authorizes these grants, along with related provisions that allocate money for fixed guideway projects. The bill would affect cities planning transit expansion projects, transit agencies, and communities that rely on federal support to construct new transportation infrastructure. No specific funding amounts or timelines are outlined in the legislation beyond the immediate repeal of the existing grant program. This change would remove a significant source of federal capital investment for major public transit development across the country.
