US HB6889

Establishes a competitive grant program for public transportation system operators to fund maintenance, replacement, and rehabilitation of commuter rail bridges

Authorizes $1.5 billion annually for fiscal years 2027 through 2031 ($7.5 billion total over five years)

Covers bridges used for commuter rail operations, including those also utilized for intercity passenger rail, other public transit, or roadways

Requires operators seeking grants for bridges they do not own to establish access agreements with bridge owners before receiving funds

Grant awards must consider system size, existing federal funding levels, bridge age and condition, and whether replacement is prioritized in the applicant's transit asset management plan
