Long-Distance Corridor Relief Enhancement Act

This bill changes the federal Corridor Identification and Development Program for passenger rail. When selecting rail corridors for the program, the Secretary of Transportation would no longer be allowed to require or consider committed or expected non-federal funding (such as state or local money) for corridors on long-distance intercity passenger rail routes. This exception would apply to any long-distance route corridor accepted into the program on or after October 1, 2023. Other corridors would still be evaluated with non-federal funding as a factor.
