What it does
The Protecting Homes from Trains Act of 2025 would direct the Secretary of Transportation to create a grant program to fund the design and construction of barriers near rail lines adjacent to residential structures to mitigate damage, noise, and vibrations from train activity. The program would provide grants to states, interstate compacts, public agencies, political subdivisions, Amtrak, certain rail carriers, and partnerships involving these entities. Funding of $100 million per year is authorized for fiscal years 2026 through 2030, with grants awarded based on applications submitted to the Secretary of Transportation.
