No CIG Act

Introduced by Representative Scott Perry, the No CIG Act is a legislative proposal currently under review by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. While the specific text of the bill is not yet summarized by the Congressional Research Service, the title and committee assignment suggest it aims to modify federal oversight or funding mechanisms. Specifically, the bill likely targets the Capital Investment Grants (CIG) program, which is a primary source of federal funding for major transit projects like subways, light rail, and commuter railroads.

If enacted, this bill would potentially change how local transit agencies receive federal financial support for large-scale infrastructure projects. This could impact the timeline, cost, or feasibility of new public transportation expansions in various communities across the country. As the bill is in the early stages of the legislative process, it must be approved by committees and both chambers of Congress before it can be sent to the President to be signed into law.
