House bill aims to create permitting parity for rail projects

WASHINGTON — A bill introduced this week in the House of Representatives aims to align federal permitting for rail projects with that of highway projects. U.S. Rep. Dina Titus (D-Nev.) on Wednesday introduced the Modal Parity in Permitting Act, which would allow sponsors of transit and passenger rail projects to acquire property needed for those projects before completing environmental permitting, as is the case with highway construction. “When high-speed rail comes to Southern Nevada, it will support tourism, improve air quality, and ease traffic congestion,” Titus said in a press release. “The Modal Parity in Permitting Act will help ensure that the permitting process that allows these services to be built in our community is in line with the process for highway projects.” U.S. Reps. Rob Bresnahan (R-Pa.) and Laura Friedman (D-Calif.) are cosponsors. Bresnahan said the bill is “a commonsense fix that allows local projects to move forward without waiting on Washington every step of the way,” while Friedman said it will allow the country to “build critical infrastructure faster and more affordably.” The American Public Transportation Association is among the organizations that have endorsed the bill. APTA CEO Paul P. Skoutelas said it “levels the playing field and will help move critical public transit and passenger rail investments forward faster and more efficiently.” Also hailing the bill was Brightline West President Sara Watterson, who thanked the three sponsors “for their leadership on this important issue and urges Congress to advance this commonsense bill as part of any upcoming surface transportation reauthorization package.” The full text of the bill was not immediately available. — To report news or errors, contact trainsnewswire@firecrown.com.

New Jersey governor calls for soccer body to share in World Cup transit costs

An NJ Transit train arrives at Secaucus Junction in August 2019. Passengers traveling to World Cup games from New York’s Penn station will transfer in Secaucus. David Lassen EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill is calling for soccer governing body FIFA to share in the costs for transit to World Cup games in the wake of a report that NJ Transit plans to charge more than $100 for train service to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. Sherrill, in a Wednesday, April 15, social media post, said, “While NJ Transit is sutck with a $48 million bill to safely get fans to and from games, FIFA is making $11 billion. I’m not going to stick New Jersey commuters with that tab for years.” Sherrill’s post came a day after The Athletic reported that the transit agency plans to increase the round-trip ticket price for a trip from New York’s Penn Station to the stadium from the regular price of $12.90 by more than 700%, with no discounts for seniors, children or the disabled, as is usually the case. The report said the information came from “people familiar with the plans, who asked to remain anonymous in order to protect relationships.” An NJ Transit representative told The Athletic that ticket prices have not been finalized “and any reference to cost would be unconfirmed speculation.” The transportation plans are expected to become public within a week. NJ Transit charged the regular ticket price last year for service to Club World Cup games at MetLife, which drew 81,118 fans. Tickets were priced at up to $600 for that game, while FIFA recently raised the top face-value ticket price for this summer’s World Cup final to $10,990. A previous news report said that NJ Transit’s plans include limiting traffic from Penn Station to World Cup ticket holders only for a four-hour period before the eight games in East Rutherford [see “Part of Penn Station to be limited …,” Trains.com, April 6, 2026]. This includes four games on weekdays when the station handles an estimated 132,000 NJ Transit commuters. If the report by The Athletic is correct, NJ Transit’s pricing would top the $80 tickets offered by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority for tickets to World Cup games in Foxborough, Mass. The MBTA sold more than 17,000 of those tickets on the first day they were available [see “MBTA sells more …,” April 9, 2026]. — To report news or errors, contact trainsnewswire@firecrown.com.
