Prohibition on Federal Funding for Streetcar Projects

This new law bans the use of federal funds from several transportation programs for the construction, operation, or maintenance of streetcars. This means that cities and states will not be able to use these specific funds for developing streetcar networks, potentially impacting local transportation plans and the availability of certain public transit options.
Key points
Surface transportation block grants cannot be used for streetcars.
Congestion mitigation and air quality improvement funds will not cover streetcar projects.
Urbanized area formula grants and fixed guideway capital investment grants will not fund streetcars.
