Put the Brakes on Boondoggles Act

This bill blocks federal funding for new transit or rail projects that either exceed their original budget by at least $1 billion or project operational costs to consistently outpace rider revenue by more than $1 billion annually over the next decade. It directly affects transit agencies and local governments seeking federal grants for rail or transit projects. The law prevents the Transportation Secretary from approving new funding for projects meeting either financial threshold, aiming to stop projects deemed financially unsustainable. It does not create new programs but restricts federal assistance based on specific cost and revenue metrics.
