Protecting Homes from Trains Act of 2025

This bill would require the Secretary of Transportation to set up a grant program within 180 days of becoming law. The grants would pay to design or build barriers between rail lines and nearby residential areas to reduce train derailment damage, noise, and vibrations. States, local governments, public agencies, Amtrak, smaller railroads, and rail carriers partnering with public entities could apply. The bill would authorize $100 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
