Posts - Bill - S 2916 Long-Distance Corridor Relief Act
senate 09/19/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to change the way long-distance intercity passenger rail routes are evaluated by removing the requirement for the Secretary of Transportation to consider non-Federal funding when selecting these corridors. This aims to simplify the approval process and potentially encourage more development of long-distance rail service.

Why fund free rides on Uncle Sam’s dime? Long haul trains need local buy-in, not federal handouts.

Federal support means no strings attached—finally putting people over private pockets.

Freeing funds from non-Federal strings is bold—let’s hope it’s a ticket to better rails, not a derailment.

This bill tosses out private investment like yesterday’s trash—good luck without it.

Taking the money out of the mix means we can build the trains we actually need, not just the ones big investors want.
