Protecting Homes from Trains Act of 2025
This bill creates a federal grant program to help communities near rail lines address train-related impacts on homes. It authorizes $100 million annually (2026-2030) for grants to states, local governments, rail carriers, or other eligible entities to design or build physical barriers between rail lines and residential areas. These barriers aim to reduce damage from derailments, noise, and vibrations affecting homeowners. The program directly supports residents living adjacent to rail corridors who face these specific disruptions.
