RIDE FAST Act
The RIDE FAST Act extends the deadline for using federal grants supporting intercity passenger rail projects from 2026 to 2032. This change directly affects states and rail operators eligible for these grants, giving them six additional years to plan and implement rail improvements. The bill amends Section 22106(a) of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to adjust the authorization period without creating new funding. It focuses solely on extending existing grant availability for rail projects.
