Establishing the intercity passenger rail service program and making transfers annually to the passenger rail service revolving fund.

SB 86 establishes a state program to develop and fund intercity passenger rail service in Kansas, connecting the state to the Midwest Regional Rail System and national networks. It creates a "passenger rail service revolving fund" that will receive $5 million annually from state funds starting in 2026, to provide loans and grants for rail infrastructure improvements, station development, and operating support for Amtrak or approved carriers. The program requires rail stations to meet safety standards, support intermodal transportation, and encourage economic development along routes. The Secretary of Transportation will administer the fund and report annually on the program's progress.
