This bill would create a federal grant program for state, local, and tribal governments to build "low carbon corridors" that connect transit, rail, roads, and bike and walking paths, with federal wage rules and a requirement to use U.S.-made iron, steel, and manufactured goods. It would let the Department of Transportation fund value capture planning and designate federal tax increment financing districts near transit through 2030. It would add a new type of tax-exempt private activity bond for development within a half-mile of major transit stations. It would also create Labor Department grants for local governments to plan job transitions for fossil fuel workers, and a National Employment Corps to provide guaranteed jobs paying at least $15 per hour to workers not successfully transitioned.
