Long-Distance Corridor Relief Enhancement Act
This bill modifies a federal requirement for selecting rail corridors by exempting long-distance passenger rail routes from needing committed or anticipated non-Federal funding. It directly affects intercity passenger rail corridors on long-distance routes accepted into the program after October 1, 2023. The key provision removes the Secretary's obligation to consider non-Federal funding when selecting these specific corridors under the program described in the law. This change simplifies the selection process for qualifying long-distance rail corridors by eliminating a prior funding requirement.
