            (1) Findings.--Congress finds that--
                    (A) despite the real improvements caused by the 
                disadvantaged business enterprise program, minority- 
                and women-owned businesses across the country continue 
                to confront serious and significant obstacles to 
                success caused by race and gender discrimination in the 
                federally assisted surface transportation market and 
                related markets across the United States;
                    (B) the continuing race and gender discrimination 
                described in subparagraph (A) merits the continuation 
                of the disadvantaged business enterprise program;
                    (C) recently, the disparities cause by 
                discrimination against African American, Hispanic 
                American, Asian American, Native American, and women 
                business owners have been further exacerbated by the 
                coronavirus pandemic and its disproportionate effects 
                on minority- and women-owned businesses across the 
                nation;
                    (D) Congress has received and reviewed testimony 
                and documentation of race and gender discrimination 
                from numerous sources, including congressional hearings 
                and other investigative activities, scientific reports, 
                reports issued by public and private agencies at every 
                level of government, news reports, academic 
                publications, reports of discrimination by 
                organizations and individuals, and discrimination 
                lawsuits, which continue to demonstrate that race- and 
                gender-neutral efforts alone are insufficient to 
                address the problem;
                    (E) the testimony and documentation described in 
                subparagraph (D) demonstrate that discrimination across 
                the United States poses an injurious and enduring 
                barrier to full and fair participation in surface 
                transportation-related businesses of women business 
                owners and minority business owners and has negatively 
                affected firm formation, development and success in 
                many aspects of surface transportation-related business 
                in the public and private markets; and
                    (F) the testimony and documentation described in 
                subparagraph (D) provide a clear picture of the 
                inequality caused by discrimination that continues to 
                plague our nation and a strong basis that there is a 
                compelling need for the continuation of the 
                disadvantaged business enterprise program to address 
                race and gender discrimination in surface 
                transportation-related business.
            (2) Definitions.--In this subsection, the following 
        definitions apply:
                    (A) Small business concern.--The term ``small 
                business concern'' means a small business concern (as 
                the term is used in section 3 of the Small Business Act 
                (15 U.S.C. 632)).
                    (B) Socially and economically disadvantaged 
                individuals.--The term ``socially and economically 
                disadvantaged individuals'' has the meaning given the 
                term in section 8(d) of the Small Business Act (15 
                U.S.C. 637(d)) and relevant subcontracting regulations 
                issued pursuant to that Act, except that women shall be 
                presumed to be socially and economically disadvantaged 
                individuals for purposes of this subsection.
            (3) Amounts for small business concerns.--Except to the 
        extent that the Secretary of Transportation determines 
        otherwise, not less than 10 percent of the amounts made

        Each State shall annually--
                    (A) survey and compile a list of the small business

                including the location of the small business concerns 
                in the State; and
                    (B) notify the Secretary, in writing, of the 
                percentage of the small business concerns that are 
                controlled by--
                            (i) women;
                            (ii) socially and economically 
                        disadvantaged individuals (other than women); 
                        and
                            (iii) individuals who are women and are 
                        otherwise socially and economically 
                        disadvantaged individuals.
            (5) Uniform certification.--
                    (A) In general.--The Secretary of Transportation 
                shall establish minimum uniform criteria for use by 
                State governments in certifying whether a concern 
                qualifies as a small business concern for the purpose 
                of this subsection.
                    (B) Inclusions.--The minimum uniform criteria 
                established under subparagraph (A) shall include, with 
                respect to a potential small business concern--
                            (i) on-site visits;
                            (ii) personal interviews with personnel;
                            (iii) issuance or inspection of licenses;

                            (vii) listings of work completed;
                            (viii) examination of the resumes of 
                        principal owners;
                            (ix) analyses of financial capacity; and
                            (x) analyses of the type of work preferred.
            (6) Reporting.--The Secretary of Transportation shall 
        establish minimum requirements for use by State governments in 
        reporting to the Secretary--
                    (A) information concerning disadvantaged business 
                enterprise awards, commitments, and achievements; and
                    (B) such other information as the Secretary 
                determines to be appropriate for the proper monitoring 
                of the disadvantaged business enterprise program.
            (7) Compliance with court orders.--Nothing in this 
        subsection limits the eligibility of an individual or entity to 
        receive funds made available under titles I, II, V, and VII of 
        this division and section 403 of title 23, United States Code, 
        if the entity or person is prevented, in whole or in part, from 
        complying with paragraph (3) because a Federal court issues a 
        final order in which the court finds that a requirement or the 
        implementation of paragraph (3) is unconstitutional.
            (8) Sense of congress on prompt payment of dbe 
        subcontractors.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                    (A) the Secretary of Transportation should take 
                additional steps to ensure that recipients comply with 
                section 26.29 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations 
                (the disadvantaged business enterprises prompt payment 
                rule), or any corresponding regulation, in awarding 
                federally funded transportation contracts under laws 
                and regulations administered by the Secretary; and
                    (B) such additional steps should include increasing 
                the Department of Transportation's ability to track and 
                keep records of complaints and to make that information 
                publicly available.
            (9) Sense of congress on fulfilling certain contracts.--It 
        is the sense of Congress that contractors participating in a 
        federally funded transportation contract with a small business 
        concern owned and controlled by socially and economically 
        disadvantaged individuals should ensure that the percentage of 
        a contract promised to such small business concern is 
        fulfilled, unless prior approval is obtained consistent with 
        the regulations under part 26 of title 49, Code of Federal 
        Regulations.

Enterprises.--

        minority relationship or investment.

        paragraph (1) shall be available for any purpose described in

    (a) Study.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Transportation and the 
        Administrator shall seek to enter into an agreement with the 
        Transportation Research Board of the National Academy of 
        Sciences to under which the Transportation Research Board shall 
        conduct a study--
                    (A) to estimate pollutant loads from stormwater 
                runoff from highways and pedestrian facilities eligible 
                for assistance under title 23, United States Code, to 
                inform the development of appropriate total maximum 
                daily load requirements;
                    (B) to provide recommendations (including 
                recommended revisions to existing laws and regulations) 
                regarding the evaluation and selection by State 
                departments of transportation of potential stormwater 
                management and total maximum daily load compliance 
                strategies within a watershed, including environmental 
                restoration and pollution abatement carried out under 
                section 328 of title 23, United States Code;
                    (C) to examine the potential for the Secretary to 
                assist State departments of transportation in carrying 
                out and communicating stormwater management practices 
                for highways and pedestrian facilities that are 
                eligible for assistance under title 23, United States 
                Code, through information-sharing agreements, database 
                assistance, or an administrative platform to provide 
                the information described in subparagraphs (A) and (B) 
                to entities issued permits under the Federal Water 
                Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.); and
                    (D) to examine the benefit of concentrating 
                stormwater retrofits in impaired watersheds and 
                selecting such retrofits according to a process that 
                depends on a watershed management plan developed in 
                accordance with section 319 of the Federal Water 
                Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1329).

        communities, deindustrialized communities, depopulated rural 
        communities, the poor, low-income workers, women, the elderly, 
        people experiencing homelessness, people with disabilities, 
        people who are incarcerated, or youth.
    (d) Considerations.--In carrying out the study, the Transportation 
Research Board shall determine the need for information related to 
climate resilient transportation infrastructure by considering--
            (1) the current informational and institutional barriers to 
        integrating projected infrastructure risks posed by climate 
        change into federal infrastructure planning, design, 
        engineering, construction, operation and maintenance;
            (2) the critical information needed by engineers, planners 
        and those charged with infrastructure upgrades and maintenance 
        to better incorporate climate change risks and impacts over the 
        lifetime of projects;
            (3) how to select an appropriate, adaptive engineering 
        design for a range of future climate scenarios as related to 
        infrastructure planning and investment;
            (4) how to incentivize and incorporate systems thinking 
        into engineering design to maximize the benefits of multiple 
        natural functions and emissions reduction, as well as regional 
        planning;
            (5) how to take account of the risks of cascading 
        infrastructure failures and develop more holistic approaches to 
        evaluating and mitigating climate risks;
            (6) how to ensure that investments in infrastructure 
        resilience benefit all communities, including communities of 
        color, low-income communities and Indian Tribes that face a 
        disproportionate risk from climate change and in many cases 
        have experienced long-standing unmet needs and underinvestment 
        in critical infrastructure;
            (7) how to incorporate capital assessment and planning 
        training and techniques, including a range of financing options 
        to help local and State governments plan for and provide 
        matching funds;
            (8) how federal agencies can track and monitor federally 
        funded resilient infrastructure in a coordinated fashion to 
        help build the understanding of the cost-benefit of resilient 
        infrastructure and to build the capacity for implementing 
        resilient infrastructure; and
            (9) the occupations, skillsets, training programs, 
        competencies and recognized postsecondary credentials that will 
        be needed to implement such climate-resilient transportation 
        infrastructure projects, and how to ensure that any new jobs 
        created by such projects ensure that priority hiring 
        considerations are given to individuals facing barriers to 
        employment, communities of color, low-income communities and 
        Indian Tribes that face a disproportionate risk from climate 
        change and have been excluded from job opportunities.
    (e) Consultation.--In carrying out the study, the Transportation 
Research Board--
            (1) shall convene and consult with a panel of national 
        experts, including operators and users of Federal

        issue new guidance as appropriate for State and local 
        governments and Indian Tribes regarding the design, 
        construction, maintenance, retrofit, and repair of evacuation 
        routes.
            (2) Considerations.--In revising or issuing guidance under 
        subsection (a)(1), the Administrator of the Federal Highway 
        Administration shall consider--
                    (A) methods that assist evacuation routes to--
                            (i) withstand the effects of hydrostatic 
                        and hydrodynamic forces on viability, including 
                        recommendations regarding appropriate drainage 
                        structures or other flood prevention mechanisms 
                        to manage stormwater, runoff, and the effect of 
                        storm surge;
                            (ii) withstand the risks that flammability 
                        poses to viability;
                            (iii) improve durability, strength 
                        (including the ability to withstand tensile 
                        stresses and compressive stresses), and 
                        sustainability; and
                            (iv) provide for long-term cost savings;
                    (B) the ability of evacuation routes to effectively 
                manage contraflow operations;
                    (C) for evacuation routes on public lands, the 
                viewpoints of the applicable Federal land management 
                agency regarding emergency operations, sustainability, 
                and resource protection; and
                    (D) such other items the Administrator of the 
                Federal Highway Administration considers appropriate.
            (3) Report.--In the case in which the Administrator of the 
        Federal Highway Administration, in consultation with the 
        Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, 
        concludes existing guidance addresses the considerations in 
        paragraph (2), The Administrator of the Federal Highway 
        Administration shall submit to the Committee on Transportation 
        and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives and the 
        Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate a 
        detailed report describing how existing guidance addresses such 
        considerations.
    (b) Study.--
            (1) In general.--The Administrator of the Federal Highway 
        Administration, in coordination with the Administrator of the 
        Federal Emergency Management Agency, shall study the 
        vulnerability of evacuation routes that are part of the 
        national highway system to the risks of extreme weather, 
        including flooding and storm surge.
            (2) Contents.--In conducting the study under paragraph (1), 
        the Administrator shall examine--

                weather event;
                    (B) whether Federal evacuation routes that have 
                historically flooded have recovered quickly from 
                extreme weather events;
                    (C) the availability of alternative evacuation 
                routes to accommodate the flow of evacuees in the event 
                of an evacuation route becoming impassable due to 
                flooding; and
                    (D) the impact of impassable evacuation routes on 
                vulnerable individuals, with consideration of the 
                return of evacuees after an extreme weather event, 
                including--
                            (i) individuals with a physical or mental 
                        disability;

    (a) Best Practices.--
            (1) In general.--
                    (A) Assistance to providers of public transit.--Not 
                later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this 
                Act, the Secretary of Transportation shall issue 
                nonbinding best practices to assist providers of public 
                transportation in setting the threshold for a major 
                service change as described in Circular 4702.1B of the 
                Federal Transit Administration.
                    (B)  Specific providers of public transit.--For the 
                purposes of this section, the term ``providers of 
                public transportation'' means providers that operate 50 
                or more fixed route vehicles in peak service and are 
                located in an urbanized area of 200,000 or more in 
                population.
            (2) Best practices.--In developing the best practices 
        described in paragraph (1), the Secretary--
                    (A) shall issue specific recommendations for 
                setting the threshold of a major service change, which 
                shall include, at a minimum, recommendations related 
                to--
                            (i) changes in hours of operations, 
                        including consideration of changes during 
                        nonpeak hours;
                            (ii) changes in the frequency of service;
                            (iii) changes in coverage, including the 
                        opening and closing of stations and stops and 
                        the changing of routes; and
                            (iv) the use of route-specific analyses in 
                        addition to service-area level analyses;
                    (B) shall recommend specific percentage change 
                standards for the elements described in clauses (i), 
                (ii), and (iii) of subparagraph (A) to assist providers 
                of public transportation in setting the threshold for a 
                major service change in a manner that ensures 
                meaningful analyses and the provision of equitable 
                service; and
                    (C) may issue different best practices for 
                providers of public transportation of different sizes 
                and service types.
    (b) Transit Cooperative Research Program Report.--
            (1) Review.--Not later than 3 years after the issuance of 
        the best practices described in subsection (a), the Transit 
        Cooperative Research Program of the National Academy of 
        Sciences shall conduct a review of the manner in which 
        providers of public transportation define the threshold for a 
        major service change for purposes of compliance with Circular 
        4702.1B of the Federal Transit Administration, including--
                    (A) a survey of the standards used by providers of 
                public transportation to define the threshold for a 
                major service change;
                    (B) a review of the differences in standards used 
                to define the threshold for a major service change for 
                providers of public transportation of different sizes 
                and service types;
                    (C) information on the considerations used by 
                providers of public transportation when defining the 
                threshold for a major service change; and
                    (D) the extent to which providers of public 
                transportation are using the best practices described 
                in subsection (a).
            (2) Report.--After the completion of the review described 
        in paragraph (1), the National Academy of Sciences shall issue 
        a report on the findings of the review and submit such report 
        to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the 
        House of Representatives and the Committee on Banking, Housing, 
        and Urban Affairs of the Senate.

SEC. 2807. TRANSIT VEHICLE BATTERY RECYCLING AND REUSE.

    (a) In General.--Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment 
of this Act, the Secretary of Transportation shall issue regulations 
that, notwithstanding any other provision of law, allow recipients of 
funds under chapter 53 of title 49, United States Code, at the option 
of the recipient, to repurpose, recycle, reuse, sell, or lease transit 
vehicle batteries that are beyond the useful service life of such 
batteries for the purpose of transit vehicle propulsion and component 
parts of such batteries.
    (b) Considerations.--In issuing regulations under subsection (a), 
the Secretary shall prioritize second life applications that--
            (1) maximize the full use of transit vehicle batteries 
        beyond the useful life of such batteries for transit vehicle 
        propulsion and component parts of such batteries;
            (2) enhance the reuse and recycling of transit vehicle 
        batteries, components, and component critical minerals of such 
        batteries;
            (3) reduce costs for recipients;
            (4) create new streams of revenue for recipients;
            (5) support the provision of zero emission public 
        transportation service, which may include the use of wayside 
        charging; and
            (6) enhance the resilience of public transportation and the 
        electric vehicle supply equipment network, which may include 
        the use of batteries for energy storage.
    (c) Second Life Applications Defined.--In this section, the term 
``second life applications'' means the repurposing, recycling, reuse, 
sale, or leasing of a transit vehicle battery that is beyond the useful 
service life for the purpose of transit vehicle propulsion and 
component parts of such battery, but that retains utility for other 
applications.

                enforcement, of the exemptions, waivers, or other 
                allowances compiled under paragraph (2) by--
                            (i) using available data, or collecting 
                        from motor carriers or motor private carriers 
                        and drivers operating under an exemption, 
                        waiver, or other allowance if the Secretary 
                        does not have sufficient data, to determine the 
                        incidence of accidents, fatigue-related 
                        incidents, and other relevant safety 
                        information related to hours of service among 
                        motor carriers, private motor carriers, and 
                        drivers permitted to operate under each 
                        exemption, waiver, or other allowance;
                            (ii) comparing the data described in 
                        subparagraph (A) to safety data from motor 
                        carriers, motor private carriers, and drivers 
                        that are subject to the hours of service rules 
                        and not operating under an exemption, waiver, 
                        or other allowance; and
                            (iii) based on the comparison under 
                        subparagraph (B), determining whether waivers, 
                        exemptions, and other allowances in effect 
                        provide an equivalent level of safety as would 
                        exist in the absence of exemptions, waivers, or 
                        other allowances.
                    (B) Consultation.--The Secretary shall consult with 
                State motor carrier enforcement entities in carrying 
                out this paragraph.
                    (C) Exclusions.--The Secretary shall exclude data 
                related to exemptions, waivers, or other allowances 
                made pursuant to an emergency declaration under section

                this paragraph.
            (5) Driver impact analysis.--In carrying out the 
        comprehensive review under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall 
        further consider--
                    (A) data on driver detention collected by the 
                Secretary pursuant to section 4304 of this Act and 
                other conditions affecting the movement of goods by 
                commercial motor vehicle, and how such conditions 
                interact with the Secretary's regulations on hours of 
                service;
                    (B) whether exemptions, waivers, or other 
                allowances that permit additional on-duty time or 
                driving time have a deleterious effect on the physical 
                condition of drivers; and
                    (C) whether differences in the manner in which 
                drivers are compensated result in different levels of 
                burden for drivers in complying with hours of service 
                rules.

SEC. 5304. STUDY ON SAFE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN AUTOMATED VEHICLES AND 
              ROAD USERS.

    (a) Purpose.--The purpose of this section shall be to ensure that 
the increasing deployment of automated vehicles does not jeopardize the 
safety of road users.
    (b) Study.--
            (1) Establishment.--Not later than 9 months after the date 
        of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Transportation shall 
        initiate a study on the ability of automated vehicles to safely 
        interact with other road users.
            (2) Contents.--In carrying out the study under paragraph 
        (1), the Secretary shall--
                    (A) examine the ability of automated vehicles to 
                safely interact with general road users, including 
                vulnerable road users;
                    (B) identify barriers to improving the safety of 
                interactions between automated vehicles and general 
                road users; and
                    (C) issue recommendations to improve the safety of 
                interactions between automated vehicles and general 
                road users, including, at a minimum--
                            (i) technology advancements with the 
                        potential to facilitate safer interactions 
                        between automated vehicles and general road 
                        users given the safety considerations in

    (n) Limitation on Financial Assistance for State-Owned 
Enterprises.--
            (1) In general.--Funds provided under this section and the

        contract, subcontract, grant, or loan to an entity that is 
        owned or controlled by, is a subsidiary of, or is otherwise 
        related legally or financially to a corporation based in a 
        country that--
                    (A) is identified as a nonmarket economy country 
                (as defined in section 771(18) of the Tariff Act of 
                1930 (19 U.S.C. 1677(18))) as of the date of enactment 
                of this Act;
                    (B) was identified by the United States Trade 
                Representative in the most recent report required by 
                section 182 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2242) 
                as a priority foreign country under subsection (a)(2) 
                of that section; and
                    (C) is subject to monitoring by the Trade 
                Representative under section 306 of the Trade Act of 
                1974 (19 U.S.C. 2416).
            (2) Exception.--For purposes of paragraph (1), the term

        minority relationship or investment.
            (3) International agreements.--This subsection shall be 
        applied in a manner consistent with the obligations of the 
        United States under international agreements.
    (o) Rail Trust Fund.--
            (1) In general.--
                    (A) Funding.--Beginning on the date on which a rail 
                trust fund is established, any amounts made available 
                under subsections (a), (g), (h), (i), (j)(1), (k), and 
                (l) shall be derived from such fund.
                    (B) Rail trust fund defined.--In this subsection, 
                the term ``rail trust fund'' means a trust fund 
                established under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 for 
                making certain expenditures for the benefit of rail and 
                for crediting certain taxes and penalties collected 
                relating to rail.
            (2) Sense of committee on need for rail trust fund.--The 
        following is the sense of the Committee on Transportation and 
        Infrastructure of the House of Representatives:
                    (A) There is a discrepancy in historical Federal 
                investment between highways, aviation, and intercity 
                passenger rail. Between 1949 and 2017, the Federal 
                Government invested more than $2 trillion in our 
                nation's highways and over $777 billion in aviation. 
                The Federal Government has invested $96 billion in 
                intercity passenger rail, beginning in 1971 with the 
                creation of the National Railroad Passenger 
                Corporation. Intercity passenger rail Federal 
                investment is only 12 percent of Federal aviation 
                investment and less than 5 percent of Federal highway 
                investment.
                    (B) Congress has recognized the value and 
                importance of a predictable, dedicated funding source 
                through a trust fund for all other modes of 
                transportation including for aviation, highways, 
                transit, and waterways. The Highway Trust Fund was 
                created in 1956. The Airport and Aviation Trust Fund 
                was created in 1970. The Inland Waterways Trust Fund 
                was created in 1978. Mass transit was added to the 
                Highway Trust Fund in 1983. The Harbor Maintenance 
                Trust Fund was created in 1986. With regard to Federal 
                transportation investment, only intercity passenger and 
                freight rail do not have a predictable, dedicated 
                funding source through a trust fund.
                    (C) The Federal Railroad Administration has 
                identified more than $300 billion worth of investment 
                needed to develop both high-speed and higher speed 
                intercity passenger rail corridors around the United 
                States. In addition, a Federal Railroad Administration 
                report from 2014 found that shortline and regional 
                railroads need $7 billion of investment. The Northeast 
                Corridor has a $40 billion state of good repair 
                backlog.
                    (D) A rail trust fund would provide a predictable, 
                dedicated funding source to high-speed and intercity 
                passenger rail projects and for the public benefits of 
                shortline and regional railroad freight rail projects. 
                A trust fund provides essential longer term funding 
                certainty to allow the United States to develop quality 
                intercity passenger rail service in corridors across 
                the country, eliminate the state of good repair backlog 
                on the Northeast Corridor, allow for accessible 
                equipment and stations for passengers with 
                disabilities, move more freight on rail, redevelop an 
                American passenger rail car manufacturing base, create 
                good paying, middle class jobs, and reduce our nation's 
                transportation carbon emissions.

                     TITLE IV--COMMUTER RAIL POLICY

SEC. 9401. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING COMMUTER RAIL LIABILITY 
              INSURANCE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, 32 commuter railroads 
        across the United States safely carried passengers on more than 
        500,000,000 trips each year.
            (2) Commuter rail is a $9,900,000,000 industry that creates 
        and supports more than 200,000 public- and private-sector jobs, 
        and continues to grow.
            (3) Most commuter rail agencies are required to maintain 
        liability insurance up to statutory liability limits.
            (4) Commuter rail agencies face significant obstacles to 
        finding and obtaining liability insurance.
            (5) Only a handful of insurers offer this coverage, and a 
        significant percentage of the railroad liability insurance 
        marketplace is provided by foreign companies.
            (6) The number of insurers in the American and foreign 
        markets willing to even offer potential capacity for this 
        coverage has drastically decreased over the past several years, 
        and, regardless of cost, it is becoming extremely difficult for 
        commuter railroads to obtain the needed coverage.
            (7) Despite the exceptional safety record of commuter 
        railroads and recent full compliance with positive train 
        control, a 2021 survey of the American Public Transportation 
        Association's commuter rail agencies revealed that there has 
        been a 60 percent increase in premium costs over the last 3 
        years.
            (8) The increase in premiums is largely due to factors 
        outside the control of the commuter rail industry, including 
        major forest fires, hurricanes, and insurers exiting the 
        market.
            (9) The cost of liability insurance severely impacts the 
        operating budgets of many commuter rail agencies and 
        potentially affects their ability to offer these critical 
        public transportation services.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that Congress 
should address the capacity and cost issues associated with the 
commuter rail liability insurance market and consider establishing a 
commuter rail insurance program within the Department of 
Transportation.

SEC. 9402. SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD MEDIATION OF TRACKAGE USE 
              REQUESTS.

    Section 28502 of title 49, United States Code, is amended to read 
as follows:
``Sec. 28502. Surface Transportation Board mediation of trackage use 
              requests
    ``A rail carrier shall provide good faith consideration to a 
reasonable request from a provider of commuter rail passenger 
transportation for access to trackage and provision of related 
services. If, after a reasonable period of negotiation, a public 
transportation authority cannot reach agreement with a rail carrier to 
use trackage of, and have related services provided by, the rail 
carrier for purposes of commuter rail passenger transportation, the 
public transportation authority or the rail carrier may apply to the 
Board for nonbinding mediation. In any case in which dispatching for 
the relevant trackage is controlled by a rail carrier other than the 
trackage owner, both shall be subject to the requirements of this 
section and included in the Board's mediation process. The Board shall 
conduct the nonbinding mediation in accordance with the mediation 
process of section 1109.4 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, as

              REQUESTS.

as follows:
``Sec. 28503. Surface Transportation Board mediation of rights-of-way 
              use requests
    ``A rail carrier shall provide good faith consideration to a 
reasonable request from a provider of commuter rail passenger 
transportation for access to rail right-of-way for the construction and 
operation of a segregated fixed guideway facility. If, after a 
reasonable period of negotiation, a public transportation authority 
cannot reach agreement with a rail carrier to acquire an interest in a 
railroad right-of-way for the construction and operation of a 
segregated fixed guideway facility to provide commuter rail passenger 
transportation, the public transportation authority or the rail carrier 
may apply to the Board for nonbinding mediation. In any case in which 
dispatching for the relevant trackage is controlled by a rail carrier 
other than the right-of-way owner, both shall be subject to the 
requirements of this section and included in the Board's mediation 
process. The Board shall conduct the nonbinding mediation in accordance 
with the mediation process of section 1109.4 of title 49, Code of

the consideration a rail carrier provided to a request was in good 
faith and whether the request from a provider of commuter rail
