What it does
The bill would require the Transportation Research Board to evaluate innovative hull designs and alternative material construction technologies—such as carbon fiber, hybrid systems, and fiber-reinforced polymers—to improve the performance and payload capacity of waterborne transit systems. It applies specifically to waterborne transit systems and directs the Transportation Research Board to conduct this evaluation. The bill does not impose requirements on private entities or establish new regulations but mandates a study by a federal advisory body.
