Additionally, it removes these projects from the railroad rehabilitation and improvement financing program. The legislation also includes the elimination of the transit-oriented development planning pilot program.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
- Removal of ineligible projects from assistance programs: By amending Section 602(a) of title 23, the bill ensures that a transit-oriented development project—defined as a project or components of a project designed for commercial or residential use—cannot receive assistance under the TIFIA program (Section 2 of the bill).
Potential Negative Impacts for People

Loss of assistance for transit-oriented development projects: The bill removes the eligibility of transit-oriented development projects to receive assistance under the transportation infrastructure finance and innovation program (Section 2 of the bill).
-
Changes to railroad financing: The bill amends Section 22402 of title 49 by striking subparagraph (F) and removing the phrase "and increase transit-oriented development" from subsection (c)(6), which alters the scope of the railroad rehabilitation and improvement financing program (Section 3 of the bill).
