Bill overview
The Brain Train Act establishes a grant program within the Department of Transportation to promote the development of high-performance intercity passenger rail service across the United States. This program will provide competitive grants to states, Amtrak, and other eligible entities for capital projects that improve rail transportation, such as acquiring new equipment or upgrading existing infrastructure. The grants can be awarded in installments and are subject to specific criteria, including alignment with state rail plans and significant improvements to passenger service, with a maximum federal funding contribution of 90% of the project’s cost.
