S 5090 United States Senate · 118th Congress

USRC Funding Eligibility Act

This bill makes the Union Station Redevelopment Corporation (USRC) eligible to receive 100% federal funding for several transportation infrastructure grant programs. Specifically, it allows the USRC to apply for and receive full federal funding (100% of project costs) under the RAISE grant program, National Infrastructure Project Assistance grants, Consolidated Rail Infrastructure grants, and Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail grants. The key change is modifying existing eligibility rules to include the USRC as a recipient and setting its federal share at 100% across these programs. This directly affects the USRC, enabling it to secure full federal financial support for infrastructure projects at Union Station.
