What this bill would do
This bill, known as the ``No Desire for Streetcars Act,'' aims to amend title 23 and title 49 of the United States Code. The primary purpose is to prohibit specific federal funds from being used for streetcar projects. It targets the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program, the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program, Urbanized Area Formula Grants, and Fixed Guideway Capital Investment Grants. By doing so, it prevents the use of these funds for the procurement, operation, or maintenance of streetcars.
