You might be thinking of the High Speed Rail Act referenced in this bill, unless I missed something on the Wiki.

I'm skeptical of this. These rail projects tend to cost way more than their budget, and can't create demand.  These areas already have commuter/regional rail service, just a bit slower. What we should be looking at is funding some reliable public transit in places that don't have it already.

It is possible that the regions will have to cover some costs.

I think the amendment passes.

I propose

5. $8 billion will be distributed among the regions by the DoIA for the repair, expansion, or construction of rapid bus lines in metropolitan areas.

Aye, a fine idea.

Credit goes to Frodo.

Basically commuter rail.

It is too bad that commuter rail could not be done underground cost-effectively.
