Bill overview
The Keeping China Off the Rails Act aims to strengthen U.S. supply chains by requiring that most new railroad freight cars used in the United States be made in North America. Specifically, the bill mandates that railroad freight cars placed into service meet certain manufacturing and content requirements, phasing in stricter rules over time. It focuses on ensuring a greater portion of these cars are produced domestically. This legislation is intended to reduce reliance on foreign sources, particularly China, for critical transportation infrastructure.
