In July, both the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations marked up the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill (THUD Appropriations bill). 

The House THUD Appropriations bill (H.R. 9028) significantly cuts public transit and passenger rail below the authorized funding levels of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. It cuts public transit investment by $1.3 billion and passenger rail investment by $263 million from last year’s funding levels. The House THUD Appropriations bill passed on a party-line vote of 31-26.

Conversely, the Senate THUD Appropriations bill (S. 4796) provides the overwhelming majority of public transit and passenger rail investments authorized by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. It increases public transit investment by $440 million and passenger rail investment by $441 million from last year’s funding levels. The Senate THUD Appropriations bill passed on an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 28-1.
